Patty has been employed by the State of VT as a cultural interpreter at the State Parks and at the State Historical Center. She has also made presentations at a number of schools and camps.
Patty worked for six years at the Dawnland Center, a non-profit center for native people formerly in Montpelier, where she conducted many ceremonies, as well as teaching with other staff, and helped to run three powwows a year. Patty and her family also sang with a drum group which performed at powwows; she also led a drumming workshop at the VT Folklife Center.
