Today, Paola is an active lyric soprano, performer, and Media Director with Fine

Arts of Miami (FAM). She continues to refine her vocal and artistic abilities under

the guidance of renowned Italian tenor and voice coach Raffaele Cardone,

founder of Miami Lyric Opera. She also works closely with Maestra Beverly

Coulter, her opera coach, and pianist Marcela Martinez, her musical advisor.

From 2019 until the company’s closing in 2023, Paola performed with Miami Lyric

Opera in roles including Giannetta in Donizetti’s L’Elisir d’Amore and Sister

Dolcina in Puccini’s Suor Angelica. She also understudied roles such as Adina in

L’Elisir d’Amore, Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor, Amina in Bellini’s La

Sonnambula, and Sister Genovieffa in Suor Angelica. In addition, she performed

in the choruses of La Traviata, Cavalleria Rusticana, Lucia di Lammermoor,

Carmen, and various opera galas.

But Paola’s journey is anything but ordinary.Her connection to music began in childhood. She was introduced to singing by

her mother, Maestra Ruth Godoy, a Doctor of Music and conducting professor.

By the age of 16, Paola was performing as a vocalist and had independently

studied recorder, guitar, and piano with renown private music schools and

professors. She also performed alongside her mother in domestic and

international concerts, with a particular focus on chamber and Baroque music.

Paola later pursued a Bachelor of Music with a major in voice at PUC University.

She eventually left the program to pursue a career in meteorology—a path that

led her to television and, ultimately, to the United States.
