Nicole always knew she wanted to have a career in science. From collecting “tree stars” in the woods as a kid (Land Before Time anyone?), to majoring in Biology and Journalism in her undergrad career at UNC Chapel Hill, she has always taken steps to make that happen. Along the way, she discovered a love for writing, photography, and communication as well as a desire to help close the gap between science and minority communities. Though she uses her spare time to pursue slightly selfish hobbies like bodybuilding and cooking, she hopes her career will allow her to serve the public. She hopes to be an apt communicator and a well-informed scientist.
