Founder of Eastern North Carolina Stop Human Trafficking Now. Pam first became interested in the subject of Human Trafficking at a Missions Conference in 2006 where she learned about young girls being forced into prostitution in Asia. Since then, she has led three Mission Trips to Moldova, where part of the team's job was to educate young people about trafficking, in an effort to prevent them from becoming victims. Upon learning that Human Trafficking is a problem here in NC, she has felt called to be active locally in educating our community about this issue and working towards preventing Human Trafficking. Pam has attended numerous conferences and received in-depth Human Trafficking Training from a variety of entities including U.S. Immigration's and Customs Enforcement, the Freedom Network Training Institute, the Not for Sale Campaign, and the Initiative Against Human Trafficking. ENC Stop Human Trafficking Now is a member of the NC Coalition Against Human Trafficking, and Pam serves on the Executive Committee. Pam was active in the creation of the Prevention Section of Project NO REST's Comprehensive Plan. Recently, Pam led the effort to start the Pitt County Coalition Against Human Trafficking, modeled after the state-wide group. Pam trains professional groups how to recognize human trafficking and respond to it. Groups trained in recent months include teachers, counselors, therapists, hotel/motel staff, and Crisis Intervention Teams. Pam earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1990.
