Experience
Paola grew up near Puerto Rico’s Arecibo Observatory, where she fell in love with talking about far-flung places in the cosmos. But when Hurricane Maria barreled into her island, her focus fell back to Earth. She cut her teeth in science journalism as an intern at Gizmodo’s environmentally-minded Earther website and as a senior fellow at Grist, where she covered the intersection of race and the environment. Around that time, Paola also helped found the Uproot Project, a network of environmental journalists of color born over frustrations about the lack of representation of journalists of color in newsrooms across the country covering marginalized communities that are hit first and the hardest by the climate crisis. As a fellow–and then as freelance weekend writer at New York Magazine–she covered disease and public health when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Paola’s been freelancing for PopSci since 2019; some of her other freelance work has appeared in The Guardian, Wired, New York Times, and Space.com.
Education
Paola graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Astronomy with a focus in Communications and Science and Technology Studies. She also is working toward a Master of Arts in science writing from Johns Hopkins University.
