For 17 years, Pam was the Director of the University of Vermont Field Hockey and Softball Camps.
In her coaching career, Pam has had many outstanding players who received all conference recognition. However, she is “most proud of how (her) teams competed academically,” with more than 10 athletes per year selected to the Softball America East All-Academic Team and over 10 athletes earning recognition on the Field Hockey Academic Honor Roll in the America East Conference.
“I have committed most of my professional life to helping young women mature and gain confidence in themselves through sport. I have always believed that it was my responsibility to mentor them beyond and teach them more than just sport alone. For that I am extremely proud.”
