Pam first became interested in the subject of Human Trafficking at a Missions Conference in 2006 where she learned about young girls being forced into prostitution in Asia.

Since then, she has led three Mission Trips to Moldova, where part of the team’s job was to educate the young people about trafficking, in an effort to prevent them from becoming victims.

Pam earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1990. Since then, she has been involved with the management of her family’s business-Electronic Services, Inc.

Pam speaks frequently to community groups, as well as conducting training for professional and pre-professional groups (such as social workers, counselors, teachers, law enforcement, nurses, physician’s assistants, and others).

Pam is passionate about preventing labor trafficking internationally by educating people about Fair Trade and responsible consumerism.

Pam is the Founder of the nonprofit and serves as its Chief Executive Officer.

Pam has been training professionals in North Carolina about the reality of human trafficking for more than a decade. Under her leadership, NC Stop Human Trafficking founded and facilitate the Pitt County Coalition Against Human Trafficking and the Pitt County Human Trafficking Multidisplinary Team, as well as becoming one of the founding organizations of the N.C. Demand Reduction Task Force.

Pam has spoken across the state in communities about what human trafficking is and how to prevent it. She has also developed curriculum for foster parents, guardians ad litem, human trafficking 101 for the community, and making the connection between human trafficking and pornography.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time her husband, son and their two dogs. Traveling, reading, and supporting the Tar Heels are other interests.

Banesa Berumen serves as the training and outreach coordinator for NC Stop Human Trafficking since 2022.

Born in California and living most of her life in Texas, she moved to North Carolina in 2018. She was raised by undocumented parents who worked grueling, long hours in the agricultural industry.

She watched her parents experience first-hand what it is like to be silenced and live with the vulnerabilities that play a large role in any type of human trafficking and exploitation. Through watching her parents lose their voices for fear of deportation, she has a deep understanding of the vulnerabilities that are prevalent in the immigrant communities in North Carolina.

She became involved with NC Stop Human Trafficking when she felt the compulsion to inform and advise the Latino community in this state about their rights and what labor practices are acceptable and what are not.

In her role as a training specialist, she will devote much of her time to reaching the Spanish speaking population in the state.

Berumen’s focus will also be on building strategic networks and promoting NC Stop Human Trafficking’s vision and advance its work statewide.
