The Confidence Mother-Daughter Brunch was inspired by the research and work of Dr. Pamela Ellis, The Education Doctor®, who has partnered with moms, for their daughter’s journey to college for over 15 years. Dr. Pamela is an award-winning educational consultant whose experience includes advising school districts, community organizations, and institutes of higher education.

She is the host of “Keep C.A.L.M. for Moms” – a show to discuss what it means to educate the next generation of leaders with grace and ease.

She has visited more than 500 colleges and universities to gain insight into their varying cultures and to explore the range of academic and social opportunities available to students on campus. Her research areas include high school to college transition, parent engagement, African-American males in education, and college completion.

She is a highly sought-after speaker and author of the best-selling book What to Know Before They Go: College Edition, which helps school leaders, counselors, mentors and parents/caregivers support teens toward higher education success.

Dr. Pamela graduated from Stanford University and the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, and she earned a doctorate from the Stanford University School of Education.
