Paula Simon
Napa and Sonoma Co-Ambassador

Paula began volunteering with Cake4Kids in 2021 at the recommendation of a former colleague and has baked, handled social media, and written appreciation notes for the Sonoma Chapter. 

In 2010, Paula retired and relocated to Sonoma County from Milwaukee, WI where she had spent more than 20 years as a non-profit agency executive focusing on community relations and public affairs. She traded her snow blower and winter boots for a swimming pool and Birkenstocks but failed at retirement.  She returned to the work she loved and served in multiple professional capacities for a Bay Area Jewish agency until successfully retiring in 2019. 

Paula earned her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley, a Master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California and a second Master’s Degree in Jewish Nonprofit Management from Hebrew Union College.
