Meet the Team

  • FOUNDER

    Pam founded Stand4Kind with the belief that every student deserves to feel a sense of belonging and connection. By teaching leadership, empathy, self-esteem, emotional wellness, and kindness, Stand4Kind provides schools with effective tools to reduce suicide and bullying among students. 

    Pam's extensive experience includes start-ups, curriculum development, staff and teacher training, and counseling for students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

     Recognizing the critical role of community, Pam also launched S4K Connects, our community program, which equips communities and businesses with essential mental health tools.

  • COMMUNITY OUTREACH

    As a teacher, I clearly understood the challenges students, teachers and schools face, but I felt solutions were outside my reach, until one day it was my child that was hurt. After this experience I was determined to find a way to help improve the culture inside schools. I created the Kindness Matters EDU app, designed to increase a culture of kindness in schools and soon joined the Stand4kind team. As the Community Outreach Specialist, I take the messages of Stand4kind and spread them to the communities inseparably connected to the schools and children we serve. By empowering individuals, we can create stronger communities and a brighter future.

  • TRAINING AND CURRICULUM

    Joining the Stand4kind team has been one of the highlights of my career. Developing curriculum and facilitating training allows me to draw from my experience as an educator while providing me with a creative outlet. The mission and vision of Stand4kind align with my values and passion for promoting kindness and mental well-being.

  • PROJECT MANAGER

    I joined the Stand4kind team after several years as an educator. Making a difference in the mental wellness of children and teens has always been important to me, and I'm proud to be a part of an organization that puts that at the forefront of their mission.

  • S4K MENTOR

    After the chaotic covid years, somehow working the corporate grind just didn't matter anymore. In an effort to find a place on this planet where my time made an impact, I connected with Stand4Kind. What a gift! How fulfilling it has been to work with good people in an effort to help other good people live more fulfilling lives. So happy to be here! Excited to get to know you!

Start Shining.
