Paula was a teacher in every sense of the word. Her wit, her kindness, her ability to make you feel heard and loved, she helped me, and countless others. She played a giant part in getting me to where I am, and I can't adequately express how grateful I am just to have had her in my life and to be a part of hers. I hope to be half the teacher and even a quarter of the person she was.
