Having been a senior executive (Wing Commander) in the Royal Australian Air Force, Pam is an experienced leader, manager and project manager. During her military career, Pam recognized that computers would be a great productivity tool if used well and quickly gained her qualifications as a Microsoft Office Master (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Access), a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MS Project) and as a business programmer. In 2016, following the advent of “big data”, Pam realized that data workers needed to know how to present their findings. So she became proficient in Power BI Desktop and data visualization design.
Throughout her three careers – as a military officer, as a database designer and developer, and as a learning and development facilitator – Pam has applied her project management and computing skills to “get the job done” with a minimum of wasted effort. She understands the issues and effort workers face and how to use computers to help.
In addition, the basis for all Pam’s professional achievements is excellent communication. She is able to explain complex concepts in plain and simple terms which makes the learning journey an enjoyable experience.
