Pamela has always worked in cancer care since becoming a nurse, and was drawn to if after working in an oncology unit during her training. She also volunteered at a children's oncology camp for 13 years, and loved the experience of working with children and patients. Her favorite part of working with patients and their families are the relationships that are built, which can happen over the course of several years. She enjoys coming to work every day because of her team, and her amazing patients.

Pamela and her partner live in Portland, and when she's not working, they love to travel, especially to Mexico. She has a love for animals and looks to bring back rescue animals every trip she makes down there.
