She helps shape grantmaking strategies, develops learning and engagement opportunities for nonprofit leaders, and supports efforts to align philanthropic resources with community needs.

“Some of the most meaningful lessons of my career have come from nonprofit leaders,” says Nicole. “Every day, I have the opportunity to learn from people who are deeply committed to their communities and willing to tackle complex challenges. That curiosity and shared learning are what make this work so meaningful to me.”
Nicole grew up in Vero Beach, Florida, and holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a concentration in Nonprofit Administration from Kennesaw State University and a Master of Public Service Management from Cumberland University. Outside of work, she enjoys volunteering with local nonprofits and exploring state and national parks with her family.
