Her love for the outdoors made made such an impact on her life she decided to pursue her dreams of landing a job in Yosemite National Park. Yosemite has been her home since 2018 and continues to be her outdoor playground & spiritual sanctuary. Exploring  the majesty of the Yosemite Valley and beyond. One of her biggest accomplishments was completing the 211 mile John Muir Trail on 2021. Paola’s love for the Park manifests its self in the form of outdoor education, guiding, photography and building community.
