Since joining Katikati Heritage Museum in 2011, Paula has been on an incredible journey that culminated in the establishment of Western Bay Museum in 2015, the vibrant institution you see today.

With a background in Sales and Marketing, coupled with a genuine passion for people and public relations, Paula found her calling as the Manager of the Museum. Guided by the expertise of Te Papa National Services Te Paerangi and guided by the ethical standards set by Museums Aotearoa, Paula is fortunate to have the unwavering support of our highly skilled Board of Trustees as we pursue ambitious goals for the Museum's future.

Leading a dedicated team of volunteers and employees is a privilege which she cherishes deeply. Together, we strive to create the finest museum experience in Aotearoa, fuelled by our shared commitment to serving the community. It fills Paula with immense pride to be part of a museum that is truly a product of community collaboration and dedication.
