Patrick joined the Undergraduate Academic Advising Center shortly after graduating from Suffolk University in 2026 with a B.S. in Political Science. A soon-to-be Double Ram, he is currently pursuing an M.A. in Applied Politics.

Patrick’s interest in advising began during undergrad, when he worked as a Peer Academic Advisor. He helped fellow students understand degree requirements and plan their courses. He also spent several years working in Suffolk’s Department of Political Science & Legal Studies, supporting students, faculty, and department events, and held a summer leadership role in the Conferences and Events Office.

As a first-generation college student, Patrick knows how many questions can go unasked when you’re trying to figure out college. He wants students to feel comfortable asking those questions, talking through their options, and making a million plans before they find the one that sticks.

Outside of work, Patrick enjoys cooking, trash TV, and maximizing his AMC A-List benefits. He is also a devoted Red Sox fan and a proud Swiftie (and Showgirl defender).
