Paula Trahan

Paula Trahan supports AQ Studios in both Accounts Payable and Project Administration, where she plays a key role in keeping projects organized, coordinated, and moving forward. With a growing expertise in project administration, she has become an integral part of the team, helping to streamline processes and support project delivery from behind the scenes. Paula is especially drawn to the complexity of the work, finding it both challenging and rewarding to contribute to the many moving parts involved in bringing projects—such as schools and other community-focused developments—to life.

Prior to joining AQ Studios, Paula built a diverse professional background that includes experience in the non-profit sector and in retail management as a Merchandising Service Manager. These roles strengthened her organizational skills, adaptability, and attention to detail, all of which she brings to her work at AQ. Her varied experience gives her a well-rounded perspective and a strong appreciation for collaboration and team culture.

A Lafayette native, Paula is deeply connected to her community and takes pride in contributing to projects that have a meaningful local impact. Outside of the office, she enjoys spending time outdoors—whether gardening or working on the ongoing renovation of her home. She also values time with her family, especially her daughter and granddaughter, and recently added a spirited rescue puppy, Lucy, to the mix.
