She has been honored to receive mentorship from Paulo de Oliveira, an executive producer on Outlander, the series on Starz/Netflix.

With overwhelming gratitude, she is currently mentored by David Paul Kirkpatrick, the former production chief of Walt Disney Studios, former president of Paramount Pictures, and founder of Story Summit.

Pamela grew up staging backyard plays where neighborhood kids' stuffed animals and dolls became the stars of her latest dramas. Her early love of storytelling never left her; today, she still devotes herself to a theatrical puppet troupe with 50-plus characters, including chameleons, wolves, dragons, and a very charismatic velvet lobster. On special occasions, she stages shows for her grandchildren, complete with sets and opening nights.

Her home is brimming with books, art, and imagination inspired by Shakespeare, Tolkien, and timeless legends.  When she's not writing, she wanders art museums, researches ancient texts, and always thinks about what challenges her characters will face next, whether on the page or the puppet stage. Storytelling is her passion, and she's always dreaming up the next adventure.
