Dr. Nordstrom began her career as a nurse, working in pediatrics and pediatric oncology. Her commitment to helping others eventually led her to hospice care. She has spent the past ten years teaching nursing at the middle school and collegiate level. Her resilience and drive to give back were nurtured by the love and support of those around her. This altruistic motivation was further fueled by her transformative experience on a mission trip to Peru in 2016, She worked with high-risk women, helping them recognize and appreciate their self-worth. Later on, Dr. Nordstrom joined Hope, a task force dedicated to these causes. Through her involvement, she connected with Centurions and initially brought on to educate the board on human trafficking.
