Paula Czech

Born in Connecticut, raised in Vermont and New Hampshire, Paula Czech returned to the Green Mountain State as an adult to find the peace that had escaped her as a child. In between she became a registered nurse by attending the NH Hospital School of Nursing in Concord, NH. Later she attended the SUNY Empire State College in Albany, NY. where she graduated with a Bachelor's of Science in Mental Health. Her nursing career spanned fifty years from a staff nurse to management, and included acute care, long term care, home health, mental health, infection control, and utilization management. She married and ultimately experienced her happiest moment with the birth of her son. Presently in retirement she enjoys family, friends, writing, her Rag Doll cat, "Buffy" and an occasional horseback ride. Paula Czech considers her advocacy work for victims of sexual abuse to be her most important mission.
