Nordia Simmonds is excited to join the Da Vinci Real World Learning (RWL) team as the RWL Coordinator. She looks forward to generative collaboration with students, the community, and the Da Vinci team in reimagining education for the real world. After earning a degree at Johns Hopkins University, Nordia’s love for learning led her to continue her education at Pacifica Graduate Institute, where she is currently enrolled in a social justice graduate program. This commitment reflects her strongly held values of equity, love, and liberation. She intends to prioritize these values in her role as RWL Coordinator. In her free time, she dedicates energy to her yoga and meditation practice, reading a great book, or crocheting a new clothing item. Please feel free to go and meet Nordia in person, you can find her in the Sandbox at 201 N. Douglas St.
