Paulina is currently an undergraduate student at Touro University, where she is studying Psychology and working toward admission to the school’s Occupational Therapy program. Her coursework spans Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition, Human Development, and a wide range of psychology classes — a foundation that maps directly onto the clinical work she hopes to do. Paulina has always been drawn to helping others and making a positive difference in their lives, and that motivation is what led her to pursue occupational therapy.
A graduate of Francis Lewis High School, Paulina consistently challenged herself academically, earning eight college credits before graduating through coursework in Philosophy and Sociology. That early exposure to college-level expectations prepared her well for continued study.
Paulina has been part of the Kweller Prep team for three years and serves as one of the Assistant Managers on our support staff team. She helps handle some of the day-to-day operations and manages the onboarding of students and programs onto the Kweller Prep student platform, keeping families supported and our systems running smoothly. In that time, she has developed strong skills in communication, organization, and collaboration, taking on a range of responsibilities and adapting to what each day requires. She values the welcoming environment at Kweller Prep and enjoys building relationships with both her colleagues and the students she works with — experience she expects to carry directly into her career in occupational therapy.
In her free time, Paulina enjoys cooking, going for regular walks, and catching up with the friends and family who matter most to her.
