Paula was born in Mexico City, but grew up in this really cool city called Queretaro. She made the move to the U.S. at 18 to study Film & Theatre in New York City. A few years ago, a special connection brought her to Pittsburgh, where she’s found a tight group of friends and creatives. She shares her lil home with her two cats, Kahlo and Vince, and loves to re-decorate every couple of months just for fun.
By day, she’s a Grant Writer for a local nonprofit, but outside of work, she’s always trying out new hobbies and going on spontaneous adventures. She loves making new recipes, especially salsas and drinks, all inspired by her Mexican roots.
When she’s not working, you can find her chilling in coffee shops, reading or writing poetry. On Sundays, she’s a barista at Moonbeam Café, always down to chat about films, music, or whatever else. If you’re in Oakmont on a Sunday, stop by and say hi!
