Paula coordinates a national network of municipal green infrastructure leaders–an effort that stemmed from Philadelphia's ambitious and holistic initiative to transform its vacant lots and stormwater system. Paula is committed to making green stormwater infrastructure work in communities across North America. She is the director of the Green Infrastructure Leadership Exchange (Exchange), a peer learning network of municipalities, water utilities, and counties seeking to advance their green stormwater infrastructure programs. Prior to the Exchange, she led policy initiatives for Philadelphia’s renowned Green City, Clean Waters program, helping to change “business as usual” to implement over 30 acres of green stormwater infrastructure on vacant lands, parks, streets and private property. Paula also helped to spearhead a state-of-the art drinking water protection program for the city of Philadelphia, helping to raise over $3 million to improve and protect the Schuylkill River Watershed. Prior to that, she consulted on public health and environmental initiatives at Booz Allen Hamilton. Paula is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame.
