Pam Schwartz grew up in Wilmington, DE. She earned her undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering from Drexel University and her law degree from George Washington University. Pam worked for many years at the United States Patent and Trademark Office as a patent examiner. During those years, she was a federal labor organization representative and negotiator. In 2021, President Biden appointed Pam to the Federal Services Impasses Panel, a position she held until 2024. As a Panel member, Pam resolved impasses between federal agencies and unions representing federal employees. Pam loves that Negotiation Works help people by teaching them ways to communicate more effectively, which is a skill they can use in their everyday lives. Pam has been teaching at Together We Bake since the beginning of 2020. She enjoys the interactive classes and watching participants gain confidence as they practice applying their new skills.
