    How do I want to change the world? I want to take health, adventure, and wellness information from the experts and professionals, and make it readable, usable, and attractive for the general public so that they might be able to better their lives.

    Expert Comments: Great enthusiasm, and she establishes her outdoor/adventure and photography chops really well. I did feel like the photos flicked by too fast to fully appreciate some of them, and I also think she might want to spend more time convincing viewers that she can deliver in terms of blog posts, social media, etc. Sometimes, sharing your adventures effectively, after the fact, is the hardest part. – Eva Holland, travel writer and editor

    Nora showed a lot of enthusiasm and her photography skills came through. It is clear that she is motivated,  open to new adventures, and knows how to have fun. For the job application, I would want to hear more about what attracted her to Isla Palenque and what about the internship she’s most interested in. – Jen Leo, Travel Writer

    Comments: We loved looking at all of Nora’s outdoor adventure photography and hearing about her passion for travel- a true outdoors- woman!

      I’ve been in classes with Nora for the past four years and she’s always done exemplary work, and I have no doubt we would see excellence in her internship on Isla Palenque. Good luck, Nora!
