Patty Stofanak has decreased our energy dependence as a company
(and we all know how hip that is).
Between her competitive spirit, chutzpah for clients' businesses and her one-of-a-kind "happy pants" demeanor, we don't need light fixtures and electrical outlets at Vault. We just use our patented Stofanak Generator.
Patty is a 2004 graduate of Penn State, where she majored in advertising/PR, minored in sociology, and suffered, by her count, well over 600 knee injuries while playing two years for the women's volleyball team. A diehard fan of Penn State football, Patty regularly travels back to school for tailgating and to see the second love of her life, Joe Pa. However, Patty does not, we repeat DOES NOT, own an oversized Penn State shaker sweater/cardigan that plays the Penn State fight song. (That would be agency president Maribeth Schmidt's claim to fame.)
Before joining Vault, Patty worked in Rural Development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where she focused her energies on helping rural-area families, fire departments, and community centers secure grants.
Patty is a true believer in the utter wonder of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, where she now lives with her husband Eric and dogs, Howard and Arthur. When she's not busy flexing her renowned media relations muscles at work, Patty can often be found renovating her home, hanging with her niece or taking up-close photography of insects.
