Nora grew up right here on the Olympic Peninsula, gaining a deep lifelong familiarity with its unique natural wonders. An adventurer, she loves hiking, exploring, nature sketching, and swimming in local bodies of water. She also has a passion for creative expression, including beading, fiber arts, and playing music.
Nora’s educational foundation was built at Five Acre School, where she attended from preschool through fifth grade. That question-based learning environment fostered her outdoor skills and instilled a wonder for the natural world. Today, she is excited to bring those exact skills, personal interests, and local expertise into her teaching role at Olympic Nature Experience.
