Following Fulfillment in Work and Fostering that Joy

Paulina is an early childhood special education teacher. She’s originally from Philadelphia but is now spreading her wings in Chicago. Paulina started her journey studying Theater at Penn State but it wasn't until her move to the Windy City that she discovered her heart was in the classroom. She decided to go back for her Masters in Early Childhood Education. She balanced working full time and grad school full time all while supporting herself to follow her passion. She hopes to become a wacky, artsy, preschool teacher in Chicago Public schools.
