The NBNC Team

Growing up in Maryland, Naomi Cocker spent years chasing her older Boy Scout brother around the woods of the Mid-Atlantic, catching all manner of slimy things and getting into good trouble in the great outdoors. She earned her B.S in Natural Resources from the University of Vermont and decided that getting to be outside, learning from nature, and working with kids sounded pretty fun. When she isn't teaching, you can find Naomi at her sewing machine, quilting and patching the same pair of jeans over and over again. She is not a winter sports person, but has decided this is her winter to learn to cross-country ski. Wish her luck!
