Back when I was a wee dreamer, I had plans of becoming a famous rock star and changing the world. Fast forward a bit, and here I am—rocking the world in a different way.
I’ve been in the behavioral health field since Graduating from BSU with a BS in Psychology December 2008, helping folks navigate life’s twists and turns. I joined the Access team in May 2011 and it was like finding my place on the world’s stage—a great fit for my passion to make a difference. I completed my MBA in June 2013 and around that time I joined the Supervisory team in the Community Based Services department. I’ve been the Clinic Manager since January 2022, I’m like the conductor of a quirky but lovable orchestra, leading my team through the highs and lows with equal parts humor and humility. Together, we’re on a mission to sprinkle kindness, understanding, and maybe a dash of dad jokes, to help brighten our patients’ days.
I firmly believe that our team at Access is as competent as they come, though I’ll admit, we’re not above Googling the occasional medical term. But hey, who needs fancy degrees when you’ve got heart, right? Every morning, I count my lucky stars for the opportunity to do what I love. My job isn’t just a paycheck; it’s a chance to be a tiny, quirky cog in the grand machine of making the world a bit brighter. So, whether you’re stopping by for a chat or a check-up, know that you’re in good hands with us. Let’s change the world, one smile at a time!
Pamela went to Boise State University and earned her Bachelors of Science in Nursing in 1988. She worked for St. Alphonsus for 20years and loved being a nurse. In 2002, she graduated from Idaho State University with a degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She started working right away in psych. Even though she continures to work at St. Al’s her heart is with her new chosen career.
She loves her job. She really enjoys working with families. Pamela treats complex clients and loves working with patients as whole people, addressing all aspects of their life with them. She gets excited when they improve.
Pamela started working at Access BHS in April 7, 2006. Her first office was literally the broom closet. She used to have to move the one and only chair clients could sit in so that she could open the door.
Pamela enjoys watching Access come from there to the thriving dynamic business it is today. The only thing that has not changed is the compassion and caring for the clients. What a journey this has been so far. She looks forward to many more years and successes.
