Dear Pam, I cannot thank you enough on how much your class has meant to my daughter Melissa and to me! I just wish we met you before I wasted thousands of dollars for (competitors removed)! You gave Melissa more personalized attention, confidence, USEFUL training for image, modeling, runway, fashion, interview skills, makeup, on camera training than 6 LONG months of weekend sessions at (competitor removed) at a tenth of the cost! Your sincere honesty about the industry, your amazing contacts/referrals, sharing your experiences in what to do and what not to do is so refreshing! I was getting cynical before we met you, thinking that this industry was only out to take our money. It was becoming quite disappointing. Instead of good referrals and opportunities all we received was expensive and a total waste of time with cattle calls and very pricey referrals. These schools and so called agencies were only making more from us by referring others to just make money and had zero benefits for my child. Their process only led to heartache and disappoint! I really felt like I was throwing money away and wasting my time. You helped Melissa polish skills, boost her self-confidence in made her understand that she really needs to work very hard to dedicate and be passionate about her pursuit. In addition your photographers are AMAZING, great with teens & young adults and their prices very affordable! We will always consider you a very close part of our circle of friends, if not part of our family. This is what we both felt truly from the start. Thank you! WE Believe in YOU PAM! Love, Lisa, Mother of Melissa

"I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for Mary. Her dyslexia makes life hard sometimes and can really bring her confidence level down. Your class made a world of difference. It's amazing what a one week workshop of fun and positive influence can do. Teri - Mary's Mom |

"I feel so fortunate to have found Miss Pamela and “Believe in YOU Model & Talent ” while searching for modeling camps. The summer workshop week was a huge success for my daughter, who loved every minute of it. She especially loved getting out into the streets and interacting with the public while doing “photo shoots”. I'm wary of modeling in general because of the way girls seem to end up focusing so much attention on every imperfection in their bodies. But this introduction to modeling was totally different – the emphasis was truly on developing poise and self-confidence as advertised and both my daughter and I were thrilled with the whole experience." Thank you, Pam Melissa's mom |

"Thank you for all your help! I know that Jennifer is still very shy, but she has come a long way since the start of the school year. I really feel that your class has given her a lot of confidence. Thanks again! Alicia - Jenn's Mom |

"My daughter is 13 yrs old and I found out about Pam through a co-worker, I was very leary of modeling schools but heard great things about Believe in YOU, so I gave it a shot. It was the best move I could have made for my daughter. She started Pam's class and shortly after starting, we had a series of unfortunate events which almost caused me to have to pull my daughter from classes. Pam showed us great compassion and continued teaching my daughter (for which I am very greatful). My daughter not only looked forward to her classes but rose above the problems we were having. Not only does Pam's class teach modeling and acting, but most of all self-confidence and great self-esteem. Pam, thank you for all you have done for Colleen and I when she hits the big leagues we will owe it all to you..." Love, Sue - Colleen's Mom |

Dear Miss Pamela, My daughter Valerie and I would just like to say thank you so much for helping us in her venture to become Miss Teen RI 2007. A friend of ours won your ten-week scholarship certificate that you graciously donated to the Worcester Chamber Golf Tournament fundraiser. He couldn't use it himself because he has no teenagers. This invaluable gift came at a perfect time for Valerie as she is competing in the Miss Teen RI 2007 in September. You were very accommodating with your time, giving us private pageant training lessons in the evening rather than your 10-week high fashion training as we live out of state. You're knowledge and professionalism is excellent, especially the way you explained to her how being beautiful on the outside is good, but beauty within will make her a winner not only in the pageant, but in life too. Thank you again for giving her the confidence she needed. I'm sure she'll make you proud. I wish we lived closer because I would definitely enroll her in your 10-week professional modeling program. Sincerely, Sylvie S. |

"I just wanted to let you know my daughter absolutely LOVES your class and is sorry that it will be ending soon. She wishes she could do another 10 weeks with you! She talks to some of the other girls from class online and they seem to love it just as much as she does. I have to say she never was as enthusiastic about any other school she went to! I can definitely notice a difference in how she acts with people. She seems to be a lot more confident than she used to be. So thank you for doing such an awesome job!" Take care, Debbie - Hilaurie's Mom |
Dear Pam, The confidence that you have given both of us is something that will stay with us forever. "Believe in YOU!" says it all. Thank you Pam, from the bottom of our hearts. Suzanne, Samantha's Mom

I want to thank you for everything you've done for me. This truly has been one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I was starting to lose direction on how I would pursue my modeling and acting career. No matter what happened, I told myself I would stick with it because I felt that this is what I was supposed to do. It just feels natural to me when I'm performing, like everything fits. Then your class came along and after the first day I immediately knew this was the opportunity for me to grow and gain the experience I needed. I'm deeply deeply honored to have taken your class. Thank you for the hard work you put into making this all happen. - Joel 20, Model & Actor - Worcester
“Thank you Miss Pamela for preparing me for the real world of auditioning. With support and advice, I feel better about myself and my talent...and what a resume I’m building! After my auditions, 9 out of 10 times I get a call back it’s good news – I got the job!” - Casey 20, Model & Actor - Spencer
“It's amazing how much I've gained from my 10 week session at Believe In You. Miss Pamela taught me everything I need to know to pursue a career in modeling. My self-confidence has improved so much! From make-up to model stances, photo posing to runway. I feel what I’ve learned from Miss Pamela will stay with me for the rest of my life!” - Alex 16, Model - Charlton
Modeling had always been a dream deep inside. It was always one of those dreams you never really think it's possible to live out. With the help of an excellent modeling instructor, Miss Pamela and the support from my peers I was able to live out my dream of becoming a model. Modeling is more than the walk, fashion and beauty, it also requires determination to improve one's weaknesses. It isn't a skill that you're naturally born with, it's a skill that you obtain by focus and concentration. That is what Miss Pamela teaches you in class. I feel there's always room for improvement and for me this is just the beginning! Thank you so much for all you've done for me Pam. I miss you so much! PAM = P is for Precious A is for Amazing M is for Marvelous! Anothony 16, Model - Worcester
"The best thing about Pam is her commitment to honesty in fashion and in current trends. The first time I met her she walked up to me, introduced herself, and in the most tactful way possible--told me I was wearing my blush "too high on the cheek." She showed me the proper way to apply it, and I've done it differently ever since. As a former model, she knows all the tricks of the trade, and isn't afraid to share them. There's no doubt she has a positive impact on every student she encounters." - Julie Tremmel Anchor/Reporter
“Miss Pamela is one of the most amazing women I have ever met! Her class was such a blast! She opened this school to help Central MA young men and women improve themselves without traveling all the way to Boston. Miss Pamela taught me several life skills I will never forget. More importantly, she introduced me to the wonderful world of modeling. In her class I made friends I still keep in contact with! I’m so grateful to Miss Pamela for starting this local school and being the person she is! The school is amazing and is something every young person should experience!” - Deirdre, 16 - Sterling
"Having taken Miss Pamela's class I now feel prepared for auditions. She taught me not only how to model but how to carry and present myself as a professional model. I lacked the confidence needed and she really brought me out of my shell. Whether or not you aspire to become a model, this class is beneficial to take because you not only learn the skills of how to model, but how to “Believe In You!” - Justyne 17, Model - Holden
“Miss Pamela's teaching skills prepared me for auditions and modeling assignments. She really uses some amazing techniques not to be scared and have no butterflies! I feel so confident, but not overly so. Training under Miss Pamela is the reason for my modeling jobs, and any that will be ahead! And, it was so much fun in class too!” - Jen 17, Model - Holden
"Pam has the drive and determination to bring you to the highest level that you can achieve. Not only does she impart her years of experience, but guides the inner you to create a more confident, energized individual ready for the professional world." - Mike, Director Acting Up Theatre Worcester
"I just want to say that Pam´s class ROCKS! When I am a famous model/actor I am going to owe my start to her...so I strooooongly encourage anyone who is remotely interested in the entertainment industry to get in touch with her! She knows this business." – Morgan 18, Model & Actor - Boston
Hey Pam,
OMG PAM! well I don't know where to start... it was the best ten weeks ever... turns, poses, **makeup** (hahaha), For those of you that don't know me, that's huge! I made more friends that I will keep in touch with, and I have a new role model. You cared about us all individually. When one was one minute late... you were scared out of your skin that something could have happened to them. It was like you became a second mother! I know you are different from those other modeling schools because you show care for each and every one of us. When we first got there, we looked hopeless... (or to ourselves we did) but today at graduation, we all looked awesome... even me, who screwed up a bazillion times! lol... I guess all I can say is thank you for everything... If I ever become some "great model", at least I'm confident... I'll owe it all to you. thanks pam... you mean alot to me. The next classes are so lucky... I wish you the best. Alysha, 20 - Ayer
Pam - I just want to start of by thanking you so much for everything you've done. I have learned so much taking your class from runway to make-up to "putting your best face forward", it has been such a great experience and has made me much more confident. I also want to thank you for taking your own time on training me for my upcoming pageant (Miss Teen Mass). You don't know how much I appreciated that. I have so much more knowledge now going into this pageant. Thank you SO much! There is nothing that John Robert Powers, Barbizon, or any other school offers that your School doesn't, and your price is so much more affordable! Pam, you are an incredible lady who really wants help teens be their best. This is such a good life experience and has already had so many benefits.
PAM! I totally agree with what Leandra has to say about you. You are a wonderful and sweet lady.. I will never ever forget you! Thank you so much for what you have taught me. You didn't only teach me how to be a model and to do my make up. You made me so much more confident in myself. Pam is soo much fun.. her classes are the best, it'll change your life in so many good ways.. I know it changed mine.xoxox
Hi Pam - Sheena 20, Model - Holden
I just want to thank you with everything I have for teaching me all this. I've learned so much from you and I've learned about myself. You gave me so much confidence and I feel like I can accomplish anything that comes at me. I didn't just learn about modeling and make up, I learned about people. Sarah 16, Model - Lancaster
There are two types of people in life. Givers and Takers. For as long as I have known Miss Pamela she has been a giver of guidance, belief, support and friendship. She steers you in the right direction and teaches you how to avoid "the potholes." She will support you and push you to your fullest potential because she truly believes in each and every one of us. It's great to know a person with all of these traits but even better to form a friendship. Pamela is your friend as well as your teacher and this is what makes working with her such a joy. Sometimes you need that shoulder to depend on as well as that boost. It's rare to find those two traits in the same package, and that's what makes her so unique. I have truly benefited from everything she has done for me and I am eager to continue working with her on my journey to fulfilling my dreams. She honestly does, "Believe In You." - Meredith 16, Model - Douglas
