Pam has served as leader in a variety of capacities: teacher leader, school administrator, assistant director at a University Center on Disability Studies, and assistant director/ research faculty for several non-profit organizations.  She has worked with schools to improve instruction and assessment, school climate, and student engagement in schools throughout the state of Maine, as well as nationally and internationally.

Pam has served as faculty at Florida State University and the University of Maine Orono.  Her research has focused on understanding the ways in which leaders promote conditions that foster aspirations and a sense of agency and efficacy among staff and students.  Her most recent work has evolved around engaging learners in practices that facilitate deep reflection and meaningful affiliations as a way to promote cultural proficiency.

Pam believes the most important contributions of securing higher education is to help us more effectively connect with ourselves, our communities to make the world a better place for all.
