She was in the PBS documentary the last artifact, and once advised the previous Mayor of the City of Bozeman to remember why he became Mayor in the first place: to serve the people during a particularly arduous time.

Pearl's company, Thanks Imaging, is a people-centric company specializing in conflict resolution and media. They believe that being heard means being seen. They focus on supporting students, women, diverse generations, and underrepresented groups who often feel the pressure to conform in order to be acknowledged.

They value the importance of understanding individuals, building meaningful connections, and finding balance. Their goal is to provide a space where authenticity and professionalism coexist, ensuring everyone is genuinely seen, heard, and valued.
