Prior to her current employment with Western, Pam worked 19 years for Satsuma Landscape & Maintenance. Most of her time with Satsuma was spent as the Grounds Maintenance Superintendent at Pacific Palms Conference Resort (formally Industry Hills), and various city properties within the City of Industry, CA. She managed approximately 300 acres of irrigated landscape. While employed at Satsuma, Pam served as a board member, and alternatively the Association Manager, for the Southern California Turfgrass Council. She was Editor of their quarterly magazine TURF TALES for five years, and coordinator of their annual educational event for four years.

She received her BS in Ornamental Horticulture from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, with minors in Botany and Irrigation Design. She is a licensed Pest Control Advisor, licensed Qualified Applicator, Certified Arborist, and Certified Water Conservation Practitioner.
