She joined KUNV in March 2001 and has remained part of the station's on-air family ever since. Her background is rooted in a lifelong love of music, especially smooth jazz and old-school R&B. In 2022, Pamela was inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame, recognizing her contribution and dedication to broadcasting.
Public Radio KUNV 91.5 is a nonprofit public radio station located within UNLV's Hank Greenspun School of Journalism and Media Studies, serving Southern Nevada since 1981 with programming designed to educate, entertain, and inspire.
