She is a certified grief counselor and has more than 20 years of non-profit management experience with an extensive background in case management and reimbursement.

She feels strongly that advocates, working together with professionals from the healthcare industry, ensure that chronically-ill patients will continue to receive direct access to medical treatment. Her work in healthcare has taught her that many patients are lacking the essential structures of education and support, necessary to overcome their illnesses.

In 2009, Pamela joined the ranks of cancer survivors which has allowed her to share her personal journey, thereby helping educate patients and empower them in battling their own illnesses.
