Patricia Kitchens
I’m Patricia Kitchens, and my journey in the field of education expands over a span of 33-years. When the Covid-19 lockdown disrupted the world, I seized the opportunity to embark on a transformative path. Choosing to pursue a Masters degree in Communications and Media at Notre Dame of Maryland University; this became a turning point that reignited my professional flame.
In 2023, I stepped into a new adventure with an internship at the National STEM Honor Society (NSTEM), marking the beginning of an exciting chapter in my career. Working hand in hand with Member Care, Human Resources, and as Eric’s Strategic Assistant, I have learned so much.
As my journey unfolded, I had the honor of taking on the role of Chapter Services Director. This new responsibility allowed me to bring my passion for education and communication to the forefront, further enhancing the support and services provided to our chapters. It’s a role that brings together my years of classroom experience with the fresh perspectives of what I have learned at NSTEM. It’s incredibly rewarding to leverage my experience to assist and guide these dedicated teachers to the success of their respective chapters.
My heart is firmly rooted in education, and my mind is enriched with the latest insights into NSTEM. Being part of the NSTEM team allows me to contribute to the growth of the organization. I am fully committed to the success of this company.
Blending decades of teaching experience with the fresh perspectives gained from my master’s journey, I’m excited about the future! Advocating for education and innovation, I strive to leave a lasting impact on the educational landscape, making a difference in the lives of students and educators alike.
