During the years prior to joining the Baltimore City Council, Paula served 12 years on the Democratic State Central Committee, 45th Legislative District, was elected as a Delegate to the 1992 Democratic National Convention; served 12 years in the U.S. Army Reserves; owned two small businesses; held several positions in City Government working diligently behind the scenes assisting the district's elected officials in the delivery of constituent services; and volunteered on many boards and commissions.
