EDUCATION
Cora joined Mountain Valley after deciding to take a semester off from college to gain real-world experience in a field she was eager to study. She found Mountain Valley to be exactly the place she hoped for—a setting where she could work alongside residents and support their treatment and growth. Cora has always prioritized building connections with those who struggle and are motivated to better themselves.
Her interest in helping others began in eighth grade, when she started working at a nonprofit retreat center. There, she gained skills in hospitality and built meaningful relationships with individuals seeking to improve their mental health. While in college, Cora served as a teacher’s assistant in early childhood education on weekends and worked as a counselor at a local children’s summer camp, where she discovered her love for nurturing creativity and growth in young minds.
Cora grew up nearby in Cornish, New Hampshire, just a town over from Mountain Valley. She studied ballet for eleven years, drawn to its artistry and expression. Today, she enjoys painting murals, reading, sculpting, and creating multimedia collages. She also spends her free time hiking and exploring new places in the region.
