Noura immigrated to Canada from Lebanon in her late teens to pursue a university education in Canada. Her studies earned her a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Toronto.

In 2002 Ms. Kevorkian made her filmmaking debut with her first short documentary entitled VEILS UNCOVERED. The film is a unique look at the sexuality of veiled women in the Syrian capital of Damascus. VEILS UNCOVERED was in competition at the International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), 2003; it won the National Film Board Award for Best Canadian Documentary at REELWORLD Film Festival, Toronto, 2002; The Golden Sheaf for Best Documentary Short Subject at the 2002 Yorkton Short Film and Video Festival Golden Sheaf Awards, the Audience Award at the 2002 Dawson City International Film Festival, Best Documentary at the 2002 New York International Film and Video Festival.

Noura produced, directed, shot the film and composed two hauntingly beautiful songs, which she sings a cappella on the soundtrack. Noura is a painter and a photographer. She has exhibited and sold several of her works in Toronto and the Middle East.

Noura is currently working on her first feature length documentary entitled ANJAR: FLOWERS, GOATS AND HEROES. ANJAR: FLOWERS, GOATS AND HEROES is the story of the filmmaker's childhood lived in Lebanon during the Civil War of 1975 to 1990, and the history of the inhabitants of her village Anjar who collectively survived the 1915 Armenian genocide.

Noura lives in Toronto.
