Paula likes to have fun, and it showed when she danced at the 2010 Gala and walked away as champion. She's happy to be back again this year and looks forward to another opportunity to perform and enjoy the fun her husband Louie had as a celebrity dancer at the first Gala.

Although her husband and four children keep her dancing at home, Paula plans to draw on her high school musical experience to put on another good show for the benefit of Lakeland College, The Sheboygan Symphony and the Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice.

A graduate of St. Norbert College with a teaching degree, Paula loves animals, dancing and summertime. She also enjoys photography and spends most of her time focusing on her children Lauren, Louis, Jack and Kathrine, as a stay-at-home mom. Paula enjoys volunteering for many school activities and she's a member of the Gala committee. Come and enjoy Paula's upbeat style as she takes the floor at this year's Gala.

Paula is sponsored by Sargento Foods Inc. she has chosen the Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice as the recipient of 50% of the proceeds raised through the purchase of extra votes on her behalf.

She will be performing the merengue with her dance partner, Darrell Dieringer.
