New Orleans New Port Meteorological Officer (PMO)

Finding a replacement for Mr. John (Jack) Warrelmann was not an easy task. However, out of 25 candidates, it gives me great pleasure to announce the acceptance of Ms. Paula Marie Campbell to fill the position of New Orleans PMO.

Hailing from near the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, she avidly pursues drawing and water painting, Ms. Campbell has always had a love of water. Her love for water began a career in the United States Navy.

Ms. Campbell has been working in weather for 23 years. She worked six years in the Navy. Several of those years were as an Aerographer Mate in radar surveillance integrating radar, satellite, oceanographic, and meteorological data into missionary concerns in Bermuda. She then worked at the Lemoore Naval Air Station in California, supporting aircraft carrier flight crews, and assisting in climatic research.

After her assignment with the Navy, she signed on with NWS in San Francisco, California, as a Meteorological Technician. She then worked as a Network Weather Radar operator at WSMO Volens, Virginia. She continued her career with NWS by becoming a Hydrometeorological Technician at National Weather Service, Blacksburg, Virginia. Of late, she took a sabbatical and joined the Army Reserves in Greenville, South Carolina. She has taken many courses inclusive of Physical Science at Southern University of New York and Political Science and Business Administration at the Colleges of the Coalingas and Sequioas in California.

She is well in tune with NWS, NOAA, and DOC’s mission delivery as related to saving lives and property, safety and environmental issues, and boosting the nation’s economy. She is anxious to get things rolling in her new position and looks forward to becoming an integral member of the PMO family.
