Meet our fantastic new Program Coordinator, Paula Pickett!

Paula has just left her five-year teaching career to join The Generator as the new Youth and Programs Coordinator. She primarily taught theater and cosmetology, but with her background in theater and stagecraft, she is also proficient in OSHA 10 safety. Before teaching, Paula earned her cosmetology license and then went to work for The Walt Disney Company, doing hair and makeup for Broadway-level productions. And way before that? She’s been doing theater—on and off stage—since she was nine years old. Building sets, sewing costumes, styling wigs… she’s pretty much got you covered.

At The Generator, Paula is your go-to—whether you need to sign your children up for summer camp, find a class that suits you, or even teach! There’s so much they can make happen. Let’s do this!

For more information on the kids camps Paula will be instructing, visit therenogenerator.com/kids
