Paula Nowell - National Life Group Life Changer of the Year Nominee

Paula Nowell came back to Stevenson High School in Livonia, Michigan, to teach math—the same school where a teacher once inspired her. That full-circle journey drives her approach to education.

Nowell understands the impact a dedicated educator can have on a student's trajectory. She works to provide the same support and encouragement she received, helping students who struggle with mathematics find their way to understanding. Her nomination for Life Changer of the Year recognizes an educator committed to paying forward the mentorship that shaped her own path.
