Hi! I’m Paola, a performer from San Juan, Puerto Rico, based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. I’m just about to finish my BFA in Musical Theatre at Utah Valley University, and these past few years have been such an adventure; learning how to act, sing, and dance in ways that feel honest and alive. To me, theatre is magic: it can make people laugh, cry, feel, and think, all at the same time, and I love being part of that.

I approach every role with curiosity and heart, and maybe a little boldness too. Whether I’m stepping into a classic musical, discovering a new piece, or collaborating with other artists, I try to bring truth, energy, and soul to the stage.

When I’m not performing, you’ll probably find me curled up with a book, wandering through a playlist of soul and jazz, or finding little ways to fill my days with inspiration. Etta James, Nina Simone, and Sam Cooke are some of my constant companions—they keep me singing through life.

I’m excited for what’s next—more stories to tell, more songs to sing, and more chances to connect with audiences through work that’s real, playful, and full of heart. If you’d like to collaborate or work together, I’d love to hear from you—let’s make something amazing!
