Patricia Granan

Patricia Granan grew up in Syracuse, New York. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from the University of Phoenix, and her Master of Business Administration from American Military University.  

Patricia served over 29 years on active duty in the United States Air Force and will retire as a Chief Master Sergeant. She spent her first nine years as a Services Specialist where she gained experience as a food service accountant, a Quality Assurance Evaluator for the food service contract, and in mortuary affairs. Patricia re-trained and spent the remainder of her career as an Air Force Paralegal. During this time, she served as an instructor for combat skills training, Law Office Superintendent, Command Paralegal Manager, and Paralegal Career Field Manager.    

Patricia has always aspired to become a small business owner, and she believes this fellowship program will provide her with the necessary skill-set to move forward in becoming an entrepreneur as she transitions to civilian life. Patricia’s favorite baked good is peanut butter cookies.
