Rooster Teeth work
Paula joined Rooster Teeth in 2015, and her first credit is the RWBY episode "Fall". By the following volume, she was one of the lead animators. Still, her biggest contribution turned out to be in spinoff RWBY Chibi, where she worked in half of the first season's episodes, was a lead animator in the next one while also directing a few segments, and by season 3 was the main director, aside from the occasional Kerry Shawcross segment.

Paula also directed episode 11 of Nomad of Nowhere.
