i’m passionate about education.Â
I’m a natural helper and empath. I love teaching and feel most at home in the classroom.
being bilingual helps me explain tech and design in simple terms.
I pride myself in being able to talk to anyone. I’ve been bilingual since I was a kid. This skill helps me easily relate and understand different points of views. This is one of my favorite skills.Â
i believe in designing for justice.Â
I believe we have the right tools to design technology and organizations that help heal the world. I see my purpose closely tied to helping this happen.

Pamela Barba is a creative strategist, and the founder of Vamos Ladies, a community and self-development platform for Latinas. When she was ten years old, Pamela’s family immigrated to the United States with $500 to their name. Now, using her cross-industry experience, Pamela works at the intersection of technology and social impact to economically empower Latinx and other marginalized communities. A first-generation college graduate, she is passionate about designing spaces where people can find the resources, connections and the community they need to thrive.
