Pam’s higher education experience spans over twenty-five years. In addition to her current role as University Registrar, Pam has served at UMBC as Associate Registrar for Systems, Peoplesoft Student Administration Records and Registration Implementation Lead and as an Assistant Registrar responsible for classroom scheduling and transfer credit and articulation services.

Pam is an alumna of UMBC’s English Department. Her exposure to working with UMBC leaders while serving as Editor in Chief of UMBC’s Retriever was instrumental in her decision to pursue a career in higher education. Her particular areas of interest include delivery of non-traditionally scheduled programs and course offerings, transfer credit services, and the collaborative role of the Registrar’s Office in student success initiatives.
Outside of her professional interests, Pam lives in Baltimore with her partner and two cats. In her spare time she enjoys writing and is an avid reader of historical fiction and non-fiction.
