Hi, I’m Nora! I graduated from the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University and am a licensed music educator in Minnesota. After spending a couple of years working as an educator, I became a stay-at-home mom—a season that really shaped my heart and priorities.

During that time, my faith became even more important to me, especially as I thought about the kind of environment I wanted for children. As a Christian parent, I longed for a safe, loving, Christ-centered place—somewhere that truly feels like a second home. I wanted a balance between quality education and genuine care, where children are supported, encouraged, and guided as they grow in faith, learning, and everyday life skills.

That desire is what inspired me to start Faithful Foundations Academy in Alexandria, Minnesota—a place created with love to support each child’s growth in a nurturing, faith-filled environment.
