Paula was trained in Brazil in Niteroi and studied at Universidade Federal Fluminense graduating in 2007. Upon moving to Australia, Paula completed Board Certification Exams. 

Paula then worked at Latrobe Hospital in Traralgon at the emergency department before relocating to Perth, where she has worked at KEMH,  SCGH, PCH (and a number of private hospitals) where she completed rotations in dermatology, endocrinology, ICU, neurology and immunology.

Paula then relocated to Albany with her husband and young son. Paula enjoys seeing people of all ages but loves paediatrics, women’s health, primary care and preventative health.

In her free time she loves to go to the movies, and spending time with her beautiful 3 year old son, her lovely husband and her two tuxedo female cats (not necessarily in that order!).
