NOTES
Noa grew up in the Washington, DC area of the US. Due to her employment as a translator, she has lived at various times in Geneva, Cairo, Bucharest, Tel Aviv, and southern Greece. She loves to travel & lives pretty "light" because she moves around so much.
She studied languages and political science at college. Her career with Translators Without Borders started with volunteer work during college, followed by a 6-month internship with UNHCR, and then full-time employment with TWB. Through TWB she has done contract work with MSF, UNHCR, Red Cross, and NATO.
During one of her stints in Israel, Noa was injured in an explosion when a missile hit the neighborhood she was working in. She has burn scarring along one arm, as well as mild PTSD triggered by claustrophobic situations, fire alarms, and explosions.
