Nicole spent a grand majority of her childhood desperately wanting to be an actress.  She even attended the International Model and Talent Association’s convention in Los Angeles at the age of 13, winning five awards and deciding that forcing her family to move to LA was too drastic for an eighth grader.

 

After a short stint of wanting to be an FBI field agent, Nicole re-ignited her dreams of Hollywood by finishing her first full-length screenplay the tender age of 16.

So when it came time to pick colleges, she applied to the school of her dreams, the University of Southern California, and a silly old safety school back in Colorado.

 

When she received two acceptance letters, she realized that her dream school had more of a nightmarish tuition and decided the safe bet was the University of Colorado Denver.

 

It was there where she met Carleen and lasted a whole semester in the film program before wimping out and switching to a more conventional Sociology major with a Criminal Justice minor.  She graduated from CU-Denver with distinction in December of 2009.

 

She currently works for the CU-Denver Business School as the Expenditure Control Coordinator but still slinks home at night to type screenplays by the eerie glow of her laptop screen.
