About Paula Pentel
I've been a homeowner in Golden Valley for 24 years. It has been a wonderful place to raise my children. I attended grade school in the Robbinsdale school district and graduated from Minneapolis North High School where I began my life-long interest in civic engagement - volunteering in my community.
