We were created on purpose with a purpose!
A woman, crowned with glory, walking boldly in God given purpose, anointed and set apart for His glory, radiating grace, strength, and elegance by stewarding sustainably with authenticity, poise, and intention, persevering fiercely.

Hi y'all! My name is Paula Tereza Gomes. I am a trilingual, first-generation American. I currently work as a Licensed Mental Health Clinician for the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Florida. Alongside this, I serve as a Child Custody and Divorce Mediator, and at times, a Guardian ad Litem with CASA in Massachusetts.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from a dual Masters program and recently graduated from Law School with my Juris Doctor. Entering the Foster Care System at age 8 and aging out of the Foster Care System propelled my passion to aid individuals to Persevere Fiercely. Journeying alongside folks and helping them thrive in the midst of adversity is my current career purpose. Environmental stewardship, specifically focused on taking care of our oceans and that ecosystem, is my current passion project.
May I continue to serve with humility and grace, exhibit kingdom character, and lead with compassion on this new adventure, while living a life of peace, meaning, and significance. May we continue to redefine what it truly means to reign and go beyond the crown, encouraging wellness and kindness in these spaces while shining light wherever the LORD leads.

Still She Rose is a wellness program for leaders, women and teens in the pageant industry. Funded by the B4ACUSA Foundation, wellness program initiatives are open to all pageant community members.
The ROSE is symbolic of the spirit that grows within each of us when proper care and attention is applied.
Together, we can encourage wellness through self care, positive body image, renewed self esteem and affirmation of one's identity beyond pageantry. We aim to engage in a conversation of support, honesty, reflection and awareness, in order to promote wellness as the foundation of the pageant industry.
Because each of us can say, She Struggled; and Still She Rose.
