As a fourth-generation Bradenton resident, Pam recognizes the need to plan for progress and partner with community members and businesses to make Bradenton work for all. She earned Master’s degree in Speech and Language Pathology from the University of South Florida, has worked for more than 30 years in speech pathology and is the proud mother of two sons. From 2004-2010, she was deeply engaged with the Teen Court program for the Manatee County Clerk of Courts, learning first-hand the importance of having an advocate for people in our community who feel like their voices are not heard.
