Upon moving to Georgia, she attended Middle and High School in Forest Park where she graduated from Forest Park High School. She went on to Clayton State University where she will be graduating from this upcoming December with a Political Science degree. In the Spring of this year, 2007, Pam completed an internship with AARP, where she worked on campaign related initiatives which were her first experiences at lobbying activities in the Legislature, together with AARP members. Pamela also describes excitedly her experience with the National Model United Nations programs in 2006 & 2007, held in New York City, where students do mock simulations of the United Nations. “Each school gets to represent a country and the students represent that country on a committee. We write resolutions that are at the same time representative of our assigned country. We can help change the world because resolutions can be reviewed and considered by the United Nations General Assembly”. Currently Pam is also trying to get off the ground a Hispanic Student Organization at Clayton State. In addition to being a Senior and finishing her Political Science Major requirements, she plans to get a certificate in translation and interpretation. Her present vision is to work with a Non-profit organization in the role of liaison to the Latin community.
