Ms. Patricia Burke
My first career was in Accounting. During that time, I was the Office Manager at Lejeune Motor Company (Motorcycle Division) for ten years. I also donated my time to the Girl Scouts as a troop leader for 12+ years. I found that working with children was my calling and I went back to school at night to obtain my licensure in Elementary Education.
I am going into my 19th year of teaching at Swansboro Elementary.
My passion is for my students to reach beyond their current goals and keep dreaming about their future.
