Why “Front Porch”?

In the South, the front porch is more than just a place to sit—it’s where friends and family gather to share stories, dream big, and have the kinds of deep, meaningful conversations that shape lives. That’s exactly what I want this space to be: a welcoming place to explore your career goals, build thoughtful action plans, and turn meaningful conversations into real, tangible progress.

Pamela is the founder of Front Porch Career Coaching, a space built on empathy, strategy, and real-world experience. After spending over a decade in education as both a teacher and administrator, she knows firsthand the weight of burnout and the courage it takes to pivot. During her third year as an assistant principal—leading a team, managing complex challenges, and supporting others—she realized it was time to support herself, too.

She reframed her strengths, reimagined her path, and made the leap into corporate talent development. Since then, Pamela has worked as a recruiter and most recently as a University Program Manager at a Fortune 400 company, where she built early career pipelines, coached interns and new grads, and partnered with universities to shape the future of work.

As a first-generation college student and former educator, Pamela brings a deep understanding of the transitions that define a career—and the emotional and strategic support they require. She’s navigated both sides of the hiring process: from preparing candidates to interviewing and selecting talent, she understands what it takes to stand out and succeed.

Her coaching style is warm, honest, and action-oriented. Whether you're exploring a new career, preparing for an internship, or simply feeling stuck, Pamela offers the clarity and confidence you need to move forward—with purpose and a plan.

Because in the South, the front porch isn’t just a place to sit—it’s where stories are shared, dreams are nurtured, and meaningful conversations unfold. That’s exactly what Front Porch Career Coaching is meant to be: a welcoming space to reflect, refocus, and take your next step with confidence.
