My partner and I consulted Patrice for some advice regarding our start up business. Patrice was very thorough…very detailed…she gave us relevant suggestions and things to think about. She allowed us to ask questions and take our conversations where we wanted them to go which is important to our vision!! I have actually recommended Patrice to several people already so was MORE than happy to recommend her here!
