From teen mom to securing a supporting role in a modern family musical at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center this month, Patricia Pineda, is one amazing mom!

Patricia was nominated in Tulsa Kids' Amazing Mom contest by her daughter, Dayann, who had some very special words about her mother whom she describles as her "biggest cheerleader". Besides being a supportive mom to two daughters, Patricia is a U.S.Navy Veteran and a recent college graduate. But there have been times when Patricia struggled as a single mom, battling depression and homelessness, and she will never forget being in that place.  Today, Patricia is focused on being a good mom and helping her daughters create meaningful lives.
