I'm Paula! I currently have an Associates Degree in English for Transfer from Sierra College. I'm currently enrolled at California State University East Bay for my Bachelors in English with a concentration in Creative Writing. I'm in my senior year, scheduled to graduate in May 2027. I'm currently working for my university's literary magazine called The Big Red Chair. I've taken many literature classes such as, Shakespeare, African American Literature, World Literature, and Queer Literature, all from various eras in time. From those classes, I've learned how to deeply analyze literary work and write essays to make connections, interpretations, observations and analyzations. I've also taken many writing workshop classes for creative writing where I've learned different techniques, elements, and styles. I've written Creative Nonfiction, Fiction, and Poetry. My favorite kind of writing is Poetry but I feel confident in many kinds of writing. I'm even published in two anthologies, Utah's Best Poetry and Prose 2023, and One Page Poetry Anthology 2022. It's probably obvious, but I love writing! My goal is to one day work in publishing and publish my own works as well down the line. I also love helping people with their writing, whether it's a comparative analysis essay or a horror flash fiction story.
Aside from my college experience, I also worked as a Substitute Teacher at Riverview Academy of Math and Science for two consecutive years and three school years. The charter school was a k-12 school therefore I have experience working in various grades, adapting to different schedules, lesson plans, classrooms, and management as well as having long-term substitute experience. I long-termed for both 2nd grade and 3rd grade for about a month each where I had to make my own plans, routines, and style of teaching. I'm compassionate when working with students, and I always try to listen and work from what they understand and they need more help in. I subbed for various subjects for secondary grades too.
