Paula Phounsavath (ODU ‘21)

Paula Phounsavath was born and raised in Richmond, VA. She is a sophomore at Old Dominion University and is currently studying biology with a minor in communications. Paula happens to be a HerCampus Contributing Writer and HerCampus ODU's Social Media Coordinator. She plans to be a registered dietician or a nutritional researcher in hopes of spreading awareness and advocating for others to live a healthy lifestyle. Paula joined HerCampus chapter at ODU to voice her perspective and advice on women empowerment, health, wellness, sex and relationships. With an amazing team she joined, she is willing to grow and learn just like any other college girl. Whenever Paula is not writing an article, she loves working out at sunrise, cooking/eating healthy foods, studying and going to school. She is also a model that is based in Norfolk and Richmond (mostly in Norfolk/VA Beach because of school) Check out her work on Instagram and if you want to collaborate with her on a photo shoot, don't be afraid to let her know!
