Gardner received her bachelor’s degree in telecommunications with a minor in meteorology from Ball State University and earned her Broadcast Meteorologist Certificate from Mississippi State University. Later she earned her Seal of Approval from the National Weather Association in 2016 and continues education to keep that seal.

This program supported the National Weather Service with rolling out a new probability-based tornado and severe thunderstorm warning system. She was invited back to the National Weather Service in 2018 to experiment with the GOES-R satellite technology for severe weather warnings. She has traveled all across the Midwest and New England to share her love of forecasting with kids in school.
She enjoys the challenge of forecasting weather and decided to trade in the severe storms and tornadoes of the Midwest to experience the nor’easters of New England. She is thrilled to call Boston home, and when not at work, you can find Pamela along with her husband, their young sons, exploring everything New ENgland has to offer, including anything sports of food related. Her perfect day in New England is enjoying a hot summer day at the beach on the South Shore or skimming along the water on her waverunner.
