She loves horses and riding as well as dogs. She earned both a Bachelor of Arts in United States History and a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Hampton University, Hampton, Virginia. Years after completing studies at Hampton, she established the SARAH WILLIAMS BLAIR SCHOLARSHIP FUND in memory of her late mother to assist future teachers in the Department of Education at Hampton University. During 9-11, she served as a Loaned Executive for the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) representing the Army. Under her leadership seven CFC Campaign Chairpersons, who represented seven Army agencies, raised $1.8 million dollars. Paula has traveled throughout the United States, Europe and the Far East. She loved Spain and Rome the best. This is the first of many books that she will write.

She also gave a government contracting company its newsletter name, “HORIZON” while employed with the company. She also wrote an article for publication entitled; “Chevrolet: A Family Tradition” for a local automobile dealership’s newsletter.
