Patrick was born in 1997 and grew up in Lowestoft, enjoying the town and the many wonders of Norfolk and Suffolk. After completing his studies at Benjamin Britten High School and East Norfolk Sixth Form, Patrick went on to study Business Management with Marketing (BSc) at Nottingham Trent University, as well as then completing a master’s in Media & Globalisation (MA).
Patrick landed his first full time role in 2020 as a digital marketing executive at regional charity Access Community Trust. He has progressed within the organisation, taken on more responsibility and currently oversees and implements the digital marketing strategy for several social enterprises.
On top of this, Patrick co-founded the Lowestoft Film Festival back in 2022 and works on this annual event (amongst a number of other creative projects) with Sunrise Studios – a social enterprise that reinvests its profits into supporting young people with opportunities in media, music and the creative industries.
