- Paula followed her burning desire to join the ranks of storytellers on a path out of the Midwest via the pageant circuit and parlayed the crowns she won into multiple hyphens on sets. She spent stints in London and NYC before settling in LA, where she began crackling along as a working actor and falling in love with the additional glow work behind the camera grants one. Her adventures have spanned producing multiple series, directing a short that garnered her the rights to a global comic book, 150+ other credits ranging from villains in the Resident Evil franchise to two of Barbie's sisters, 50+ commercials, winning awards for various scripts she's crafted, and her feature directorial debut shot over her first pregnancy that went on to win the Audience Choice Award at Dances With Films and global distribution. She's blushed at awards for acting, directing, screenwriting, and producing, and vows to continue to refuse to pick a lane. Beyond these realms, she is also the creator of two tiny humans, and founding member of the 5'2" & Under Club.
