ABOUT PAULA ESSAM
Hi, I’m Paula and I’m an actor, who loves developing stories. I learned my trade at the international academy for film acting in Cologne. My wide perspective and personal experience repertoire stems from my studies in France and South Korea, where I spent 5 years in total.
I like to focus on female centered stories and diverse characters aboding themes like: overcoming great obstacles, friendship, emancipation.
I think kindness is important, I love going out there and meet new people and I like to work with people that I like.
Fun facts: I used to be South Korea’s first foreign Cheerleader. I founded and let a functional fashion startup. I speak 6 languages (English, German, French, Korean, Chinese, Japanese)
