I was stuck in a cycle of rejection from various jobs, internships, and other post-grad opportunities. It was frustrating, especially after putting so much work into my resume, website, and reel, only to get turned down. Pam and Kari's advice was a game-changer! They helped me understand the mindset of the people reading my resume and how to appeal to them. With their help, I landed my amazing first job in editing! My bosses even say my resume and reel are a perfect example of what people should be doing!

Pam and Kari have helped me immensely with personalized insider tips and pieces of advice that can’t be found anywhere else on the internet! They gave me all the information I needed to get a foot in the door successfully, and now I have an internship guaranteed in New York City. The care and attention they give to each of their mentees are so genuine as their only goal is for our success and they are so willing to help us reach our goals.

I watched as my peers landed internships and jobs out of college in their dream fields – and I wanted something that would guide me on my path to entering the music and entertainment industry. I felt I should give up on my dreams and pick an “easier” route, but now I'm moving abroad to Milan, Italy for my dream internship in the music industry -- thanks to Kari and Pam’s advice and mentorship! Speaking with them reignited the flame within me. It pushed me out of my burn out and made me feel like anything I wanted was achievable.

Having had the pleasure of working with Kari at VH1, I can confidently endorse her as an invaluable asset to anyone seeking a career in TV. Starting as a Supervising Producer, Kari swiftly climbed the ranks to Executive Producer and then Vice President, Production & Development. Collaborating with her is an opportunity to learn from someone skilled at bringing big ideas to life, overseeing hit shows and shaping highly successful network programming. Working with Kari is an investment in your growth and success in this evolving industry.

Pam has been instrumental when it comes to helping me navigate my path in the TV industry. She not only gave me my start, but she continues to provide guidance and support still to this day. From set etiquette, to producing style, to managing Murphy’s Law (what could go wrong will go wrong), she has taught me it ALL and has been there for me for the life lessons from Production Assistant to Executive Producer! P.S. You should know that Pam hates the smell of Red Bull in the control room!

As a first-generation graduate, there wasn't anyone to guide me toward my goals. Job hunting was extremely difficult. Kari and Pam are your go-to girls when it comes to answering questions or concerns about the industry! They speak from the heart, share their personal experience and provide the best possible advice! What really stood out to me was their willingness to genuinely help, which is difficult to come by in this industry.

I hired Kari as VP, Original Programming & Production at WE tv not just because of her extraordinary resume and dynamic experience in production & programming; but because of her incredible reputation as touted by many executives I admire and trust. Kari always looked out for her talent, producing partners, and team; and was never short of creative solutions. She's a smart problem solver with a mind worth mining when it comes to content. Kari has a nose for smart talent, and a heart filled with empathy, both I believe will serve her mentees well!

Working with Kari and Pam is a remarkable experience. They are genuine gems! Their welcoming, kind, and compassionate nature, combined with their dedication to the success of their mentees, stands out. Their care for their mentees goes beyond professional advice. I wholeheartedly recommend them not only to students, aspiring storytellers, and media enthusiasts but also to veterans in the industry.

Pam is the G.O.A.T. when it comes to mentoring in the industry, truly the reason I have a successful career today. She was there for me every step of the way, as I went from Production Assistant to Executive Producer! She taught me lifelong skills that I continue to use today! Hands down the best mentor I could ever have. Anyone who can call Pam LaLima their mentor is luckier than they'll ever know. She’ll get you to where you want to be!
