Paula´s outstanding knowledge and experience in organizational and institutional dynamics, paired with her strong sense of empathy and her genuine interest in people´s needs, always inspired me when working with her on several projects. Because Paula really achieved what is so needed in any non-profit organization: motivating, structuring, and thus enabling volunteers to share their ideas for the good of the organization, while at the same time developing tools and methods in order to apply those ideas in a concrete operational and consequently successful way. In addition, her extensive national and international network, her political sensitivity, and last but absolutely not least, her sense of humor, make Paula one of my favourite colleagues. Looking forward to working with you again!
