Bio
Joe Gallego
Pamela has been a wonderful colleague. She is motivated, resourceful, and able to find new ways to present material to students in order to keep things from getting stale in the classroom.
Silvia Andrea Tarazona Ariza
I have known Pamela since 2006 when we both started the same undergraduate programme in Colombia. Years later we had the opportunity to work together as teacher trainers and then as Academic Consultant at Municipal Bilingual Program of Bucaramanga, a project run by British Council, Chamber of Commerce of Bucaramanga as well as the Municipal Board of Education. Pamela is a dedicated professional capable to manage a group and to solve conflicts in a very assertive manner. Her language skills in Spanish, English and French are optimal and sufficient to prove working capacity. She is a highly committed member of the project whose enthusiasm and work ethics are evident.
