Paula, who graduated from Lloyd Memorial High School in her hometown of Erlanger, KY first visited Savannah in 1994 at the tender age of 28, with her family.\u00a0 In 2002, she committed to a new life here with her husband Mike,\u00a0 their 4 children and their 7 grandchildren – initially working for Gulfstream, an internationally renowned private jet building facility as office administrator with payroll responsibilities.\u00a0 After meeting Mr. Tom Brooks (a colleague here at TMI), she developed an interest in accounting thanks to his guidance and his enthusiasm for the subject of numbers.\u00a0 As a result of his tutelage, Paula has been responsible for the Accounts Payable Dept., which includes preparing our paychecks and so understandably, she is loved and respected by all at TMI, but for all the RIGHT reasons!<\/p>\n
In 2015, Paula ran the JCB Mud Race for charity.\u00a0 Such was her enthusiasm, that she managed to coax a number of other employees to join her in 2016 \u2013 all of whom have vowed to relive the experience and support the same charity again this year, \u00a0in the summer of 2017.\u00a0 She is passionate about trains, steam \u00a0in particular, taking her vacation riding one whenever time permits.\u00a0 She has 2 personal wishes in life, one is to ride the Orient Express from \u201cwherever it starts, until wherever it ends\u201d and the other is to become a published author as writing is an equally strong interest of hers.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cThe Diary of a Steam Train Traveller\u201d comes to my mind\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
