“Without reservation I recommend Patricia Mueller as an outstanding example of diligence, organization, and professionalism. We worked as colleagues together for more than six years as Program Managers in basic science departments at a prestigious university in Nashville, Tennessee. She manages two Ph.D. training programs, which requires the utmost diligence in guiding more than 60 graduate students simultaneously through various milestones in their training, including admission in the program, coursework, exams, research proposals, and dissertation defenses, to graduation.

Additionally, we served together on a committee to plan and execute a university-sponsored Graduate Program Administrators regional meeting, which was overwhelmingly successful and attracted national and international speakers.

Lastly, her willingness to assist another departments through the transition to and training of a replacement Program Manager greatly helped those graduate students smoothly continue their path to their degree, all the while continuing to manage her own programs.

She is a definite asset and a professional business administrator. I highly recommend her!”

“I have truly enjoyed my time working with Patty Mueller, not only because she has a delightful personality, but also because she is timely, effective, and considerate, a rare combination! In my position, I worked with several individuals with responsibilities similar to Patty; however, Patty always stood out. She was not only was the most effective in her work, but she was also the easiest to communicate and coordinate with. In fact, I often witnessed her "picking up the slack" for others that struggled balancing their duties. Beyond this, Patty is a highly organized individual dedicated to helping others. You will not be disappointed if you are lucky enough to work with her!”

“Patty Mueller helped us over the last hurdle of getting our rental property up and running -- taking professional photos! She arrived with all the equipment needed, was well organized, and came prepared. She had also clearly done some work ahead of time, looking over other online listings and had great suggestions of which areas she needed to photograph. She took great wider shots of the space along with more detailed shots of our special areas such as bathroom vanity and coffee station. We would recommend her to anyone else needing this service to get their listing on the market.”

“Patty has an incredible talent for balancing tangible skills like budgeting, planning, and managing projects with intangible skills such as mentoring and coaching.

As the program manager for my doctoral program, she helped me map out short and long term deliverables throughout my four-year program so that I could ensure I finished my courses and thesis work in an efficient manner. With every student having a different set of requirements, this was no small task. Despite overseeing two programs, she remarkably remembered finite details about me and other students. This attention to detail was invaluable as many of our program requirements varied student to student, and failure to comply could result in delayed graduation. She also helped me navigate complex professional relationships, ranging from peer-to-peer to those with senior leadership.

With her extensive administrative skillset, remarkable attention to detail, and talent for managing complex projects, Patty would be an incredible addition to any business. “
