Patricia spent 4 years in New Jersey's foster care system.

Due to an unstable home environment, Patricia Sellers entered foster care. Her experience was unfortunate and it broke her as a human being. Patricia was depressed, stressed and had suicidal thoughts. During her time in care, she experienced one placement in a residential foster home. An open-minded individual willing to put her best foot forward, Patricia hopes that by sharing her personal story she can help others.

Currently, Patricia is a Certified Behavioral Assistant. She takes care of children with developmental disabilities like autism, Aspergers, down syndrome, bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia, etc. Patricia is going to graduate school to obtain a doctorate at Walden University. She aspires to become a forensic psychologist, continuously learning and growing as an individual able to give back to the community. One day, Patricia would like to have her own practice.
