Her earlier leadership at Hillsides Youth Moving On Program supported young adults transitioning out of foster care, while her clinical work at Hillsides Home for Children focused on helping children heal from trauma and attachment disruptions.
A passionate educator and public speaker, Nicole has led numerous trainings for teachers, students, and parents on trauma-informed care, suicide prevention, and managing anxiety. She is also a certified Mental Health First Aid Instructor and an experienced trainer who empowers both professionals and the broader community with tools to support emotional resilience and reduce mental health stigma.
