Nora joined WSU and the PNW LSAMP team in spring 2023 as the WSU LSAMP director. She earned her Master of Social Work at the University of Montana, focusing on social justice, research in public and social health, and counseling. She enjoys working with students and is dedicated to creating a welcoming environment in which they can thrive. Prior to WSU, she served as a Clover Park Technical College counselor for students earning their high school diplomas, learning English as a Second Language, and preparing for college. Over the past 15 years, she has also worked in wilderness therapy, neuropsychology, and community mental health, and as an AmeriCorps volunteer. Nora is also a licensed mental health counselor and brings with her a foundation in systems theory and a strengths-based perspective when working with people. In her free time, Nora loves to read books about other countries and go mountain biking with her dog, Dan.
