Paula Mays (Arlington, VA)
Paula Mays is an attorney with over thirty years of experience. Her legal experience has varied from a start in criminal law, to intellectual property, specifically trademarks, and now healthcare. She also pursued a Masters in Public Health (MPH), from the George Washington University late in her career. She is a native of Washington DC raised by a single mother and attended boarding school at St. Timothy’s in Stevenson, Maryland, as her mother was concerned that the black students were not being well-educated in schools facing conflict from the new busing policy. She wants her mystery novels to express the beauty in diversity.
