She has worked for boutique PR firms, U.S. government agencies, energy corporations, trade associations, nonprofits and think-tanks. She excels at results-based grassroots efforts, branding, new media, and targeted communications.
Her creative and strategic strengths include executing time-sensitive and long-term programs; raising awareness for broad-based initiatives; writing; audio and video production; media relations; crisis communications; public affairs; special events; and advertising and marketing copywriting.

Paula, for example, has worked with prominent broadcast professionals and global Web-based outlets, from advocating for the indictment of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for humanitarian war crimes, to promoting the economic benefits of the railroad industry and intermodal transportation to build national awareness during critical times.
