Paula has been working for the Admissions Department at Goodwin College since June of 2013. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Spanish with a concentration in Culture and Communication from the University of Connecticut in 2010. While at UConn, Paula was given the amazing opportunity to be immersed in the Spanish culture by studying abroad in Salamanca, Spain. That experience led Paula to become a peer mentor to Latino first-year and transfer students and allowed her to assist these students to become successful and feel integrated in all aspects of campus life.

After college, Paula fell in love with working in the education field when she had the opportunity to teach Spanish at Saint Martha School in Enfield, CT. Being able to teach 4th through 8th grade students a foreign language is one of her most cherished experiences. From that, Paula knew she wanted to continue helping students achieve academic success and which is what eventually led her to Goodwin College.

Learning Spanish at a young age has given Paula the opportunity to work directly with Spanish speaking students who are coming to Goodwin to learn English in order to further their educations and careers in the United States. For her, being able to be a part of the journey these students embark on to make their dreams in this country a reality is very rewarding and humbling. Being a first generation college graduate, like many of Goodwin’s students, Paula is able to understand the pressure and uncertainty that goes along with starting such a big step toward success. However, she is able to show students from experience that along with that uncertainty comes an unbelievable sense of pride and accomplishment that cannot be put into words.

In her free time Paula enjoys travelling to new places, going to the beach, and spending quality time with her family and friends.
