How did it all begin for the girl from Jersey? Well, Pammy grew up believing that her mom was Laverne DeFazio of Laverne & Shirley fame. Turns out her mom never lived in Milwaukee, worked at a brewery...or is fictional. But that blurred line between fantasy and reality set Pammy on a career path to television.
After majoring in Film Production at Boston University, Pammy prepared for life in Tinsel Town! She made it as far west as New York City, where she got a job at the animation company Cartoon Pizza, Inc. There, she learned the animation process and got her break as an animation script writer for Disney's Stanley. Since then, she's written for super fun (and usually curriculum-based) shows like BabyTV's Jungle Book, Netflix's CoComelon song series, Charlie's Colorforms City, Nick Jr.'s Blue's Clues & YOU!, Amazon's Creative Galaxy, Super Wings!, Super Why!, Wallykazam!, Disney's JoJo's Circus, Pinky Dinky Doo, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, Martha Speaks, Sesame Studio's Words with Puffballs, Milo's World, Sing Along with Tobee, Captain Seasalt and the ABC Pirates, The Bumble Nums, Mr. Monkey, Monkey Mechanic, Carl's Car Wash, and Finny the Shark.
Pammy served as Story Editor on Seasons 2-6 of the wacky "Yes, And"-style storytelling series, Netflix's Charlie's Colorforms City. Prior to that, Pammy was Story Editor and then Head Writer of Amazon's Creative Galaxy, a CG series about solving everyday problems using arts and crafts. She was Head Writer of Sesame Street English's 2.0 interactive English Language Learning program that teaches English to preschoolers through teenagers. While at the Workshop, Pammy adapted the Sesame Street storybook We're Amazing 1,2,3! into a short animation for the Workshop's autism initiative.
Pammy's put her sketch comedy skills to work, penning short interstitials and bumpers for the PBS Kids Programming Block, promos for The Electric Company and Martha Speaks, and edutainment segments for Sesame Street English.
Pammy has also written e-books for Super Simple and short stories for 1st and 2nd graders on Duolingo ABC literacy app.
When she's not writing for television, Pammy's watching it. From oldies like Laverne & Shirley, In Living Color, The Brady Bunch, The All New Mickey Mouse Club, You Can't Do That on Television, NewsRadio, Degrassi: The Next Generation, and The Office, to current favorites like Never Have I Ever, Grace & Frankie, Only Murders in the Building, Upload, Barry, Severance, The Bear, On My Block, Raven's Home, Alexa & Katie, Superstore, and Ghosts.
She also participates in Poorly Drawn Pets and draws people's pets poorly to help raise money for the Animal Rescue League of Iowa.
