She received a Bachelor of Arts Magna Cum Laude with Honors in Architectural Studies and Hispanic Literature and Culture from Brown University before pursuing her master's degree in architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. While studying at the GSD, Nora honed in on research regarding the future of the design profession and applications of design thinking to larger global issues.
