Patti LaGuire ,
Director of Field Services

Education: BA in Marketing, Michigan State University

Quickly working her way up to the position of Director of Field Services, Patti displays a knack for staying organized while multi-tasking on any one of a number of things. Having earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree in marketing from Michigan State University, she brings with her the knowledge of the breadth and depth of the field. But beyond that lies a passionate asset that truly cares about what happens with every project. On her quest for the smoothest, most perfect run project, she knows there will be creepy crawlies along the way. And enthusiastically smooshes one after the other.
