Founders and owners

(Executive Director, Curriculum Creator and Business Director)

Pam didn't start formally in the performing arts until she was 9 years old. Despite often leaving dance classes early (don't do that!), she continued to be cast in lead dance roles. Realizing her gift was from God, she has been on a quest to use her talents for good. Through her 45 + years in the industry, Total Talent Training is the way she fulfills that.

Also being a certified teacher of music education and in elementary school classrooms,  this program is education based. Whether your child wants a career in musical theater or just wants to gain confidence, this is their place to learn where your money will be well spent!

Pam has been on stage as a dancer, actress in print and television, professional singer in Hawaii, California, Washington State, New York and in Utah. In fact, ask her to show you, "Body Language" music video (sort of a joke). 

She has directed choirs, orchestras, owned a Big City Dance studio, produced shows and musicals, created a public school dance program called A Step Ahead, designed the DancePulse workout, owned Mercury Theater in Provo and directed collegiate and community dance companies, danced/choreographed for the  NBA Sacramento Kings Fastbreak Dance team, current tech theater teacher in Nebo School district and owner of "Home to Home School", homeschool for working families.

She also  provides consultation to  teachers regarding classroom management (Educator Success Classroom Management). She will share this knowledge with our homeschool parent-teachers in our training retreats! 

She's also a proud mom and "Pamma" to two of the cutest grand-babies ever! ;)

Thank you, thank you for reading this far and for joining our family!

At 6 months old Katie’s mom found her humming Silent Night. By age 3 she was belting gibberish at the top of her lungs while holding aloft a Readers Digest magazine on the pot! 

Since then, she has blossomed into an accomplished “triple threat” performer having been in 22 musicals before graduating high school. She’s a multi-instrumentalist who made it to Hollywood Week as an American Idol contestant not once, but twice! 

She has loved teaching the gifts of music to hundreds of students the last 14 years. She’s a motivational TEDx speaker, custom songwriter, author of the well loved "Uke Hymnbook", screen composer at Primer Chord Production Music in Australia and a self published producer with her music placed worldwide! 

She is the Co-Owner here at Total Talent Training, writes all the music to the the mini-musicals!  She is the owner of iVibeAlive.com and co-founder of WriteMyHeartsong.com where she recently co-wrote a custom birthday song for Jerry Moss, co-founder of A&M Records! 

Katie has Bachelors Degree in Commercial Music from BYU, she’s certified in Music Technology from RCC with an Honorary Chaplain of Spiritual Music Credential from the WSHO. 

She serves as the Head Chair of Spanish Fork’s Got Talent Show at Spanish Fork City’s Fiesta Days. 

Above all, she is the dedicated wife of Jeremy, mom of 4 homeschooled children and a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Her favorite quote is from Louis Bourgeois, “For your talent is God’s gift to you, what you do with it is your gift back to God.” All glory be to God from whom all blessings flow and who shines the light that is within us all!

Jessica's self proclaimed super power is her ability to find and create stories that remind our souls who we really are and the truth of what this life is all about.  There never was a time in Jessica's life when she wasn't dreaming up stories of hope and songs to go with them. 

As a youth Jessica coped with loss, poverty, and constantly moving for her father's work by making the theater her home and diving deep into the sacred and uplifting power of storytelling. These passions set her on a course of leadership through storytelling.

Pursuing every medium possible through which to enlighten and uplift with story Jessica has studied English literature and written novels, trained in stage acting and public speaking, competed in playwriting competitions, studied the art of screenwriting and directing (receiving a bachelor's in media arts from BYU), manifested as a proficient hand in songwriting with an emphasis on lyricism, and applied herself to mastering the particular craft of a musical theater librettist and lyricist.

Jessica met Katie Higley at BYU in 2010 and have had a long history of writing amazing songs and inspiring musicals together of which they now bring to you here!

The only things Jessica loves more than story and song are her family (an endlessly supportive husband and two beautiful little girls who she homeschools), her God, and her Savior. It is her devotion to these that drives her to be the best she can be and to give her all in the work of bringing more light and joy into this world through her talents and she is passionate about helping others do the same by discovering their own gifts for light!

Jessica is excited to provide your young actors with the original scripts and songs they'll need to learn the art of acting and the craft of storytelling without the politics of fighting for a lead since all of our shows are created specifically with one goal in mind: equality for all roles without loss of quality in dialogue and story.
