Nora Bishop

As a Coordinator at New Frontiers, Nora works closely with clients to support their transition, career readiness, and executive function development. With a background in public service and human services, she brings extensive hands-on and administrative experience, helping individuals navigate basic needs, mental and physical health challenges, and economic barriers.

Nora holds a Bachelor of General Studies and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Connecticut. Throughout her career, she has specialized in youth transition services and adult career readiness, equipping individuals with the skills, confidence, and resources needed to achieve their personal and professional goals. As an Adjunct Professor, she also teaches a variety of social and human services courses, mentoring students as they navigate academic, social, and environmental challenges.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Nora’s career has been her mentorship of young adults with disabilities, helping them build self-advocacy skills, access community events, and develop social and learning strategies. She is deeply committed to creating trusting relationships with those she supports, ensuring they feel empowered to take meaningful steps toward independence and success.

Outside of coaching, Nora enjoys spending time in her community, cooking, and hosting a weekly “girls’ night” with her neighbors to share home-cooked meals. She also loves to dabble in gardening and finds joy in creating spaces for connection and growth.
