Pamela's life’s mission is to effectively provide every student with an equitable and culturally responsive math instruction that equips them with the essential tools needed to become successful, responsible citizens that reach their full potential as lifelong learners regardless of their socioeconomic status. She is motivated by her personal experiences to provide such access and opportunity to all students, especially those who face systemic barriers and inequities in education. She has authored printed curriculum with Open Up Resources, taught grades 2-8, and coached and supported teachers at both the elementary and secondary levels. When she is not working in schools to close achievement gaps by increasing teacher capacities, she is enjoying being a wife and mother of two beautiful young daughters. For Pamela, there is nothing better than a rainy day full of earthworms, mud pies, princess dresses, and rain boots!
