Interestingly, she only learned the skill in 2017-2018 from a man called Felix Nartey after she attended a training in Accra.
Fast forward from the training, she signed up on Wikipedia and within few days, became an editor for Wikipedia based on her enthusiasm and dexterity on the job.
Currently, Pamela also works as the editor for Business World Ghana which is an online platform for business stories as being a Wikipedian doesn’t pay and is just done to create a positive impact.

It would be recalled how YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Pamela personally sacrificed several sleeping hours to programme information about Veronica Buckets on Wikipedia.
In a post sighted by YEN.com.gh on Pamela's personal account, the brilliant lady narrated how she spent an entire night on the task of preserving the origin of the Veronica Buckets.
The idea alone to even embark on such a voluntary task for Ghana without necessarily getting anything in return makes her effort worth celebrating.
