CONTACT VERONICA
Pat has been living in Korea since 2014. She is married with 1 daughter and 1 son. Prior to living in Korea, she was in Singapore working for a U.S. based chip maker company in the procurement department handling long term contracts and expansion projects. In Korea, she has been active in her children’s school with Parent Link, a parent and school liaison group, and as treasurer for the Parent Association helping and organizing fundraising events, and support student’s activities. Since Singapore is a tropical country, she really appreciates the beautiful four seasons scenery in Korea, so during her leisure time she will indulge in exploring new places, which includes parks, markets, restaurants and museums. Contributing her time to charity has always been her goal. Now that her kids are grown and Pat has more personal time, she is glad she can work with SIWA members to dedicate her time in charity events.
