Nemzoff majored in American studies at Barnard College, and earned master’s degrees in counseling from Columbia University and in Social Policy at Harvard University. Her experience as a Member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, a grass roots organizer, a counselor, and as a professor have given her a remarkable breadth of skill and knowledge.
