Nora is a registered dietitian with more than four years of experience working in the weight loss and bariatric field. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Bastyr University and her master’s degree from Texas A&M University. She also earned her certificate of training in Adult Weight Management and Obesity Interventions. She is currently pursuing the Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management Certification. She believes obesity is a chronic and complex disease and therefore, one size does not fit all. She is dedicated to help patients letting go of their dieting mentality and adopt lifelong healthy eating habits.
In her spare time, Nora enjoys painting, running, and spending time with her husband and their two dogs, Lily and Bella.
