About

Native Ohioan and former Buckeye alum. After managing hotels and restaurants for 7+ years, Nichole was always a curious leader. Knowing the power of explaining the why to her team, Nichole questioned why brands made the decisions they did and what inspired their decisions. Wanting to be a voice in these decision-making conversations, she went back to school to obtain her master's degree. And after exploring portfolio school, a perceptive teacher pushed her to try strategy.

Since then, Nichole has been able to channel her curiosity, research prowess, creative thinking, and analytical skills to sharpen her problem-solving and critical thinking skills to deliver impactful business results.

When she's not hanging out with her supportive family and fiancé, she enjoys activities that include naps and food. She is an ambitious and forward-thinking, self-starter who is flexible and confident in her storytelling ability. For a greater illustration of her background and strategic capabilities, check out her experience section and testimonials below.
