Get to know Patricia better…
My passion for what I do comes from my interest in how the environment and economy can harmonise and create something meaningful as well as the enjoyment of working with people. Before Sanari I worked in remote areas for many years focusing on education and community development and have had a love specifically for reptiles from the beginning. I joined Sanari because of its unique and committed team with a shared vision of purpose and impact, as well as a strong respect for family and focus on building relationships.
