My name is Patty Briese. I was raised in the Bay Area but recently took a chance to find happiness by the beach in Monterey Calif. I am excited to return to school and to finally obtain my BA. I personally been through so much and felt that I always had to place my               education on the back burner. I finally decided that it is the right time to return to school. Pacific Oak was always my first choice. I know a quite a few people that had attended Pacific Oaks and have expressed how much they enjoyed their learning here at Pacific Oaks.
I have been an early educator since 1985. I just knew at a young age that I wanted to work with children. I started out as teacher’s aide and worked myself up to a Director. I had great opportunities working in the private sector and state funded programs. I have been very blessed with the wide variety of experiences I gained over the years working with children and families. I am realizing that you can never stop learning. I enjoyed my last two classes and that is when I realized that Pacific Oaks is the perfect opportunity to continue that learning and to help me grow as educator.

I am excited about what I will be learning and what tools I will be gaining. I have taken 7 classes so far and each class I have learned something new. I am looking forward to finding ways to help me at my program currently and taking some valuable information back to my staff.

On my spare time, when I am not doing homework, I enjoy long walks, shopping, going to sports events and concerts. I mostly like spending time with family, friends and with my newest addition, my pup Sophie.

Having Ethics in general is doing the right thing. It means integrity and good values where

we can lead a quality and honest life and as well at your place of employment. You set examples for the young and at work with the team. It takes a quite bit of discipline and leadership to operate as an ethical leader. One cannot live as followers unless it is to follow positive energy. An ethic leader must be open minded, honest, respectful and humane.

"A business perceived to lack integrity or to operate in an unethical, immoral, or irresponsible manner soon loses the support of customers, suppliers and the community at large." (Tozer, 2012, p. 476")
