Patricia Simon was a remarkable marketing manager at the Straz Center in Tampa, Florida. Ms. Simon led efforts that allowed Next Generation Ballet, part of the Straz Center, to grow to a $2 million annual budget producing a new Nutcracker that brought in over $500K in ticket sales.
Ms. Simon was always a pleasant, willing, competent and hard working colleague and it is a pleasure to offer her my highest praise.

Patricia is a marketing professional in every sense of the phrase. She understands well the industry we are engaged in. Her work is visually striking and viscerally appealing, and its effectiveness has been instrumental in bringing revenue streams to ever higher levels in the Patel Conservatory. She is in command of her budget and works within those constraints to delivery the biggest possible bang for the buck. Patricia maintains a very positive and friendly demeanor (even while working within tight deadlines), and it is really a pleasure working with her.
