Biographical history
Paula Goodman was born in 1949 in Göteborg, Sweden and immigrated to Los Angeles when she was four years old. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, she went to the University of California, Los Angeles for her master’s degree. While at UCLA, she earned a teaching credential from their Lab School. After years of teaching K-12, she left the profession to become a movie subtitler and then an advertising copywriter. She was offered the opportunity to teach at Art Center in the Advertising Department which led to her becoming Associate Chair and stints as acting Department Chair.
