Ten minutes with Patricia
01What do you attribute your success to?
A lot of effort and persistence. Never give up. I am a strong woman with family support, especially my husband's support, and I am a hard worker.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Never give up. Many people will tell you as women that once you're a mom you couldn't be a journalist anymore, but that's not true. We women are so strong, we play different roles at the same time, we're enough and we can make things happen.
