Bio
Cara Hays
Nora is a force-- her ability to jump into virtually any role (sales, marketing, account management, etc.) and CRUSH IT is unbelievable. Though, it shouldn't be surprising given her go-getter attitude, optimistic outlook, and genuine love for the personal branding industry. Nora is one of the most talented, hard-working and supportive people I've ever had the privilege of working with, and I know the sky is just the limit for her.

My major was in women's studies, coupled with a background in science, as I studied movement science in the kinesiology department before switching majors. Women's studies taught me to think creatively and imagine how the world could be, to constantly question the taken-for-granted aspects of our society. This unique background leads to curiosity, creativity, and practical thinking, improving my writing immensely and has changed how I interact with the world.

I was responsible for watching over large groups of patrons and children, ensuring their safety and fun. I was responsible for issuing CPR and first aid, if necessary. It increased my ability to think quickly and work under high pressure situations. I was responsible for watching over large groups of patrons and children, ensuring their safety and fun.
