PATTI'S STORY

Turning Tragedy into Positivity

18 years ago, Patti started an eLearning company that was well ahead of its time. Before anyone had heard of digital training for the workplace, MYCA was already creating powerful online courses by partnering with the country's top subject-matter-experts.

Of the hundreds of courses Patti and her team developed, the sexual harassment prevention training was one of the most meaningful. Like many women who courageously shared their story through the #MeToo movement, Patti was sexually assaulted by a manager early in her career and wished she had the knowledge and tools on what to do, that we now have today.

In 2018, Patti lost her brother to a tragic accident when a man who was on heroin crossed the yellow line and struck his car head-on. This event was a wake-up call on just how crucial reasonable suspicion and drug-free workplace training was. If someone had the training to intervene, her brother's life could have been saved, as many others impacted by the dependency on drugs and alcohol.
