Paula's deep appreciation for architectural heritage sparked while living at the World Heritage site of Valparaíso. Her fascination with cultural landscapes, particularly those of her hometown, Ovalle, has also been a driving force. She joined RBA in 2018 while studying for the Master of Urban and cultural heritage at Melbourne University. She briefly left in 2021 and returned in 2024. Her academic background includes studies in Italy and Chile, where she obtained a professional degree of Architect in 2014.

As part of the Architecture and Conservation team, she has dedicated herself to comprehensive research and analysis to provide creative design solutions and meticulous conservation techniques. Outside of her professional pursuits, Paula enjoys spending time outdoors with her son and finds creative expression in drawing and collaging.
