Pam was born and raised in Port Alberni, she graduated from ADSS and attended Simon Fraser University in the Faculty of Education.  Pam has strong sense of responsibility to work hard for young people in supporting their learning in every way possible.  Pam’s main focus is to make sure every student has what they need to be a successful Graduate.  Pam is  honoured  to be an elected School Trustee on the Board of Education for SD70 Pacific Rim.  It is her belief that   Boards of Education are responsible to provide policies, resources and actions of the school district to ensure all students have the best possible educational experiences, while at the same time making sure parents, community partners and the Business community are meaningfully engaged.

School Trustees are the strong local voice to Government and the Ministry of Education supporting the needs of SD70 students and making sure the unique needs of SD70 students are not overlooked by government.  The Board of Education is most effective when it leads as a team with strong collaboration and mutual trust.  Pam remains committed to working together with all trustees in a cooperative and consensus building team effort.  

Pam is continuing to find ways to highlight and celebrate innovative strategies of the SD70 professional teachers and staffs.  One area she is particularly proud of is the SD70 Indigenous Education Department which is doing amazing work developing Indigenous content and resources for all classrooms across the district.  Pam also continues to encourage every opportunity in environmental studies where students can be outside and into nature for their learning.

Trusteeship for Pam is about serving the community’s most valuable citizens – SD70 Pacific Rim Students.  Pam has the energy, knowledge and dedication to contribute experience and ethical leadership for the all students of SD70 Pacific Rim.
