Pam was raised in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and started out as an accounting major. She started her professional life as the Assistant to the Clerk-Treasurer at Woodridge Local School District. When her daughter was born she left the wider workplace to be at home until her daughter went to middle school. She then did accounting for Thompson Electric until a job transfer sent her family to Texas. There she worked as a secretary at a high school.

In 2000, she took a career change and became a preschool teacher in Charlotte, North Carolina teaching 2 year olds and found her passion. Two years later her family moved to Marietta, Georgia where she taught 3 year olds. Her preschool experience has been enriched by having taught 2, 3 and 4 year olds at six Preschools in 3 different states. Each experience with different curriculums and programs has given her a broad understanding of what a preschool can offer these young minds. She returned to Ohio in 2005 and continued teaching 3 and 4 year olds for 4 years in the Columbus area. In 2009, she returned to the Akron area and started teaching in our preschool as well as the preschool at First United Methodist Church in Cuyahoga Falls. In the latter half of 2009 she came full time to teach at Fairlawn West Preschool. She became the Co-Director in 2011 and continues to teach as well. She has had many years of additional course work in early childhood education.

Her daughter, Jennifer, was a graduate of Ohio State University and was a veterinarian in Wake Forest, North Carolina. She was blessed and fortunate to have had her for 32 years.
