Paula earned her Master of Humanities with distinction from Tiffin University, with a concentration in multicultural studies. She graduated summa cum laude from Oglethorpe University with a Bachelor of Arts and an independently planned major in world mythologies and cultural anthropology.

Paula earned her graduate degree online, profoundly benefiting from the structured, welcoming distance learning classroom.

As such, she is committed to online teaching, extending her positive remote learning experience to others through a culture of care, creating a supportive, inclusive educational space.

Teaching for Paula is about facilitation, equipping people with academic and personal knowledge to help make decisions that are meaningful to the individual while honoring their connection with humanity.
