Patricia De la Torre

Nacida de padre español y madre puertorriqueña, de ellos heredó la habilidad de comunicar y conectar con los demás. Desde temprana edad demostró un interés por la escritura y mientras estudiaba la maestría en New York University llegó la oportunidad de trabajar en Mirabella Magazine, dirigida por Grace Mirabella, ex editora y directora de Vogue. Fue ahí donde comenzó su pasión por los medios impresos.

Al regresar a Puerto Rico comenzó su carrera profesional como editora de moda para la revista Imagen y luego como directora editorial para DeModa, publicada por El Nuevo Dia y la revista CARAS. Fue en estas dos últimas que Patricia desarrolló su voz a través de las columnas Punto de Vista y Desde Venus. Publicadas en la última página de la revista, estas columnas tipo “chic lit” capturaron su diario vivir como mujer de cien sombreros de una manera jocosa y liviana. Recibidas con gran acogida, las columnas publicadas durante unos casi 20 años fueron recopiladas en el libro Bienvenida a Venus publicado en el año 2008.

El mundo de las publicaciones cambió y con ello su carrera. Con el cierre de CARAS vino un giro 360 en su trayectoria profesional al presentarse la oportunidad de trabajar como parte del equipo de comunicaciones para el Secretario de Desarrollo Económico de Puerto Rico. A cargo de la prensa internacional, Patricia lideró como Publisher la revista Investing Puerto Rico, publicación dirigida a promover la isla como destino de negocios e inversión.

Utilizando como base sus destrezas de comunicación, luego de finalizar su trabajo en el servicio público Patricia se movió al servicio comunitario asuminedo la resposabilidad de dirigir los esfuerzos de recaudación de fondos y alianzas privadas para Boys & Girls Clubs de Puerto Rico. Continuando su carrera en el mundo de la filantropía y con deseo de aportar al bienestar de Puerto Rico, decide aceptar un reto nuevo en Foundation for Puerto Rico como VP de relaciones siendo el manejo de socios clave, tanto del sector privado como público, elemento clave para la ejecución efectiva de proyectos de desarrollo económico para el país.

Curiosa por naturaleza y deseosa de poder continuar ayudando a los demás, Patricia se visualiza en el futuro como voluntaria para organizaciones sin fines de lucro y a su vez viajando por el mundo en busca de rincones escondidos y gente interesante con la cual conectar y aprender. Patricia posee un bachillerato en Fashion Merchandising y un minor en escritura creativa de Marymount College (1989) y una maestría en Fashion Retailing de New York University (1991).
