Patty is a trailblazer who redefined the game with her signature blend of passion, hustle, and heart. Starting in the industry as a receptionist at 16, she rose through the ranks and transformed her career into a nationwide empire, breaking barriers, and shattering stereotypes.

In 2003 alongside her husband, Rick, Patty opened New American Funding which is now the largest privately-owned AND woman-owned mortgage company in the United States. New American Funding now has a loan portfolio of $70 BILLION, over 260 locations nationwide, and over 4,000 employees.

Alongside running her mortgage company, Patty travels the country sharing her wisdom as a keynote speaker, mentoring future leaders, or giving back to the community through philanthropic initiatives. An extreme supporter of everything woman-owned, Patty has invested in several woman-owned companies, proving that no dream is too big, and no goal is out of reach.

This first-generation Latina (and fierce-spirited Chingona) inspires everyone around her to dream bigger and chase their goals relentlessly.
