She is a lifelong dancer who began competing in jazz, tap, lyrical, hip-hop, theater, ballet and gymnastics at the age of four.

After graduation, Nicole parlayed her passion for this art form into a career through becoming the nationally certified professional dance instructor and competitor that she is today. Her passion, humor, and grace are evident to everyone that meets her.
