Pam Burgess

I live with my husband on an inland lake in the middle of Michigan.

Throughout my life, I have been immersed in the arts. I enjoy working in my home art studio, going to the theater, traveling, and spending time in Raleigh, NC with our two kids and their families. Lifelong learning is my passion, and finding new ways to learn and grow is my journey. My calling is to create!

If I am not creating and expanding then I am not being true to myself. My mission is to help myself and others see and experience things that expand the mind, feed healthy emotions, and move forward in some way. Whether that is through art, writing, or the coaching and development company I run with my daughter, it’s the immersive experience and engagement that I always strive for.

I hold a BA in Communication with a minor in Theater and Art and my 22-year career in corporate Talent Management has given me a rich global experience as a facilitator and a coach. Writing the Sophie series affords me the opportunity to use those coaching skills to support both kids and their parents with the everyday challenges of growing and parenting.
