Norrie Crocker

Norrie Crocker is a Career Advisor in the Career & Employment Hub. She is also the lead for the Peer Career Guide Program.

In 2013 she returned to Maine after nine years of living in Glasgow, Scotland. Prior to moving to Scotland, Norrie was Director of Workplace Education Programs for USM’s Center for Workplace Learning.

Because Norrie has both US and UK citizenship, working in Scotland presented no difficulties. She worked for Glasgow’s Community Learning Strategy Partnership developing and managing workplace literacy programs across the city of Glasgow (pop. 600K). Her final Scottish job was with Strathclyde Police as a leadership training specialist.

She lives in Portland with her two Scottish cats Graham and Archie along with Bella, a mixed breed dog who loves walking around the Portland campus.

Norrie received her BA in Sociology from Rutgers University and an MS in Adult Education at USM.
