Worked in New York as a Television Producer for 10 years. For the last 7 years she has instructed dance classes at Glen Rock’s Central School Dance program teaching ballet, hip hop, jazz, tap & Broadway styles. Starting in 2010 Paula began collaborating with Diana Roth-Fili on musical productions at an Elementary and Middle School level.
