Nicole’s professional journey began with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication Design from The Ohio State University in 2017. After four years in design, she was inspired to pursue a career in health care through her volunteer work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her commitment deepened while serving as a nursing assistant with the National Health Service in Oxford, England. She became a licensed RN in 2022 and has since developed a rich and varied clinical background across adult medical-surgical, pediatric outpatient care, summer camps, vaccine clinics, and telephone triage.

She has held several leadership roles, including the lead nurse at Oxford Royale Summer Camp, Pediatric Cohort Representative at Yale School of Nursing, and Director of Public Relations for the HAVEN Free Clinic, a student-run primary care clinic in New Haven, Connecticut.

As Chair of Student Engagement for the Ohio Chapter of NAPNAP, Nicole is passionate about strengthening the connection between students, the APRN profession, and the Chapter. Her focus is on enhancing student involvement, building professional relationships, and creating meaningful opportunities for growth and collaboration.
