Her experience with the unexpected deliveries of 31- weeker Santino and 30-weeker Salvatore has given her a passion to connect with and give back to the NICU Community. Her sons have inspired her to create a community that supports parents during and after their NICU Journey, and the medical teams that care for them.

Pam is a long-time March of Dimes supporter, fundraising over $50,000 for the Cleveland March for Babies walk, and an active member of the NICU Parent Network.

Pam has spent over 15 years in professional sports with various leadership roles in operations, marketing, events, public relations and community relations.
