WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT PAULINA

Creative, compassionate, and hardworking are all accurate terms with which to describe Paulina, yet they do do little to fully encompass how incredible she really is. I have met few educators who are as passionate as she is, and even fewer who seek to form genuine bonds with the students in an effort to help each individual child reach their full potential.

In having collaborated with Paulina multiple times, I can vouch for her ability to adapt, suggest, and build upon ideas. She provides perspectives that may have otherwise not be considered, and has assisted in creating engaging lessons that take student differentiation into account.

Paulina would be an invaluable member in any team that she joins, and it’s been an absolute honour having been given the opportunity to work alongside her. I have no qualms in stating that any workplace would be lucky to have her.

Teaching with Paulina has been an absolute dream. Her energy and enthusiasm for her work is something to strive for. She always does her best to encourage and engage her students in a way she knows will work best for them. Paulina is leader in every sense of the word and uses her positive mindset and creativity to inspire the people around her everyday. I feel so lucky to have met and worked alongside Paulina.

I have known Paulina now for the past 15 years and I have been actively involved in her aspirations and achievements within the sport of figure skating both as a high performance athlete as well as a young coach.
All through Paulina’s High School and University years she carried a very intense and committed academic schedule that required great dedication to achieve the high standards she set for herself. Paulina is a very conscientious individual who takes great pride in all the projects she undertakes. She has excellent leadership skills and is a consummate coordinator. One of her greatest character attributes is her genuine concern and care for others. There are so few youths in today’s community who make a mark in your life and motivate you towards achieving higher levels in your own personal development and pursuits. Paulina certainly provides that inspiration for the people she works with.

Paulina Lam is hands down the most enthusiastic person I have ever met. She never seems to run out of energy and her tenacity to get as much out of life as she can is very apparent in all that she does. We’ve been on many adventures together and I know her to be someone who loves exploring, finds joy in conversing with strangers and is always willing to try out new things. With anything that her hands touch, you can be sure she has worked tirelessly on it to ensure that it was carefully made with all aspects considered. Paulina characterizes what it means to work hard and dream big. She is also incredibly caring and will always make the effort to show kindness to those in need. She is one of my biggest inspirations. I wish her nothing but great joy and success in any and all of her future endeavors.

Since the first time I met Paulina and continuously countless times still now, she never ceases to amaze me with her talent, creativeness, personality and ability to connect with others of all ages – especially children! She has this extra sparkle that really adds life to every project and interaction. I’ve had the chance to work with her both as a classmate as well as a co-worker and was always in awe of her ability to push each project beyond everyone’s expectations. She is definitely an asset to any workplace!

Paulina will make your frown turn upside down in any situation! Her positive and outgoing personality is extremely contagious and she is a joy to work with. I have volunteered with Paulina in the Special Olympics BC Figure Skating program and she exhibits great patience and flexibility when working with others. Paulina embodies grace and elegance while demonstrating strong leadership skills. Her talent and drive to accomplish her goals is truly admirable. Paulina is a wonderful role model for her peers and the children she works with.

Paulina has done a superb job in her role and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She is creative, resourceful and a wonderfully valuable part of our advising team.

It has been a pleasure having Ms. Lam in our Kindergarten/Grade 1 classroom at Mundy Road Elementary in Coquitlam. She came out to visit us and help all of my students during our busiest season-Christmas! Ms. Lam was involved in many of our activities, including our school Christmas concert. She helped students get organized in the morning, read them stories, circulated to make sure that all were on task. She managed to help groups of students with reading/writing and art activities, as well as work with them on a one to one basis. Ms. Lam was an invaluable part of the primary team as she assisted us by putting up bulletin boards and Christmas decorations in the gym. We are thankful for her time and wish her success in her future endeavours. I know that she will be an asset and an excellent fit within your company as she is an organized, passionate, and most of all creative individual! Thank you, Ms. Lam.

As children, we grew up figure skating with one another two hours a day for six days a week -I used to look up to her as a role model. Paulina was a very passionate and dedicated skater to say the least. In her professional career, the wonderful qualities that she has been able to develop in competitive sport have allowed her to excel in anything she puts her mind to.
