About
Dr. Jessica Patella
The creation of Trinity Academy homeschool hybrid came out of surrendering to a calling of the Lord. As in all stories God starts years before in weaving together what only He can plan.
Dr. Patella is a Sarasota native. She majored in Exercise Physiology at Florida State University and graduated magna cum laude and with honors. Her honors research while at FSU, was based on lifestyle effects on glucose levels in women. After FSU, Dr. Patella moved to Arizona to continue her education at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now Sonoran University), where she earned her degree as a Naturopathic Doctor and specialized in nutrition and homeopathic medicine. From there, she and her husband moved to North Carolina, where she started her practice and began teaching nutrition at the local community college. It was her experience at the community college that led her to fall in love with teaching. Eventually, she moved back to Sarasota and began her teaching career. Outside of work, Dr. Patella enjoys spending time with her children and family, reading, running (Although very slowly!), going to the beach and traveling!
