About Us
About the Founder
Variety is the spice of life. After working through high school and college as a laboratory technician, billing specialist, medical receptionist, and medical assistant for her pediatrician mother, Pam graduated with her Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering. Post graduation, she has held jobs in Healthcare, Defense, Automotive, and now, Entrepreneurship. She found herself being a band mom for 8 years, attending every high school and middle school football game, marching band competition, and parade that her daughters played in. However, whenever it rained, all the flutists and clarinetists were forced to put away their instruments so the pads and keys would not get damaged. With the invention of the Musical Instrument Rain Shield, she is hoping that woodwind players around the world never have to sit out another outdoor event due to inclement weather!
Pam received utility patent #11,763,784 B2 for her musical instrument raincoats in 2023.
About the Shuck Shield
After finding myself furloughed from my hospital job of 14 years due to Covid-19, I set off trying to help with the problem of PPE shortages throughout our local hospitals and nursing homes. After modifying an open source face shield to make it latex free, adding a splash of color to the headbands, and getting approval from frontline caregivers, the Shuck Shield was introduced! Drawing upon several years of working in industry as a manufacturing engineer, I developed simple jigs and assembly processes that allowed my family member volunteers to continue the assembly line when I was called back to work to help set up Detroit’s Covid field hospital. Between the 4 of us we fabricated and donated over 2,000 full face shields in 2 weeks to Michigan hospitals and nursing homes that had severe shortages. .
