Joel Paulino
I was born and raised in the small college city of Fitchburg MA, where I spent most of my time helping out my aunt at her preschool center assisting in a wide range of roles and responsibilities. Working there throughout high school and all the way up until i went to college at Wentworth Institute of Tech. in Boston.
Unfortunately having to leave for family matters, I decided to pursue an automotive career. Growing my knowledge while working at large dealerships and small independent shops for a little over 8 years.
In the summer of 2022, my partner and I decided to move in together and we chose Newburgh due to falling in love with an apartment we found on Grand St. We have two cats, “Peaches” and “Josie”. Having spent the last year as a mechanic I was looking for a career change. Seeing all the amazing things Habitat Newburgh does for the community, I am very grateful to be apart of the team as Site Coordinator.
