    Adora Lanphere

    A self-described military kid, Adora grew up all over before attending college in Colorado and studying abroad in both Kyoto and Bamberg. With a double major, double minor, and an Asian Studies certificate, Adora taught English in a rural village in Japan for three years before heading to Seattle for grad school and accepting a position with the Consul General of Japan instead. Speaking mostly English these days, Adora has been an estimator for 10+ years and adds exceptional attention to detail to our Precon Team, along with an affinity for knitting, ComicCon, and the singular world of Dog Sports and Confirmations–where she trains and shows her own four dogs, as well as the dogs of friends.
