Paula Margenau
Chief Human Resources Officer
Paula Margenau joined the team at Lakes Region Mental Health Center as Chief Human Resources Officer in 2024. She has over a decade of experience in Human Resource management in social service organizations in NH and is passionate about advocating for others and working in a field where community comes first.
Paula is a graduate of New Hampshire Leadership, a certified Mental Health First Aid Trainer, and a member of the One Peer to Another Board of Directors.
She earned her bachelor’s degree in human Resource management at Baker College and is currently enrolled in the Master of Social Work program at Colby Sawyer.
Paula lives with her husband and dogs in Dumbarton (and wanted to list her husband first because it’s not often that he comes before their dogs). She is an avid runner and enjoys being outside doing anything at any time of year. Paula is also a published poetry author (!) and enjoys engaging writing poetry whenever she has the time (and isn’t running!).
