Practicing in a historic Victorian house as a solo practitioner, Pam has been blessed with an incredible life and the opportunity to play a significant role in optometry and has been involved with numerous other entities as well. Her interests range from consulting, lecturing and writing, to owning a travel agency, volunteering for emergency animal rescue with the United Animal Nations, serving on numerous community boards, coordinating and producing the Miss CA Teen Queen and Miss Arizona Teen Queen pageants for a number of years, and working as an advisor to various contact lens companies. She is a citrus farmer, an animal lover, landlord, and business person. Most importantly, she believes that everyone has an obligation to give back to their community, their family, and their profession, and have fun, while being true to oneself.
