Nicole received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Composition and a Master of Science degree in Online K-12 Education through Franciscan University of Steubenville. She has worked both in the classroom and online with students ranging from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th grade. Writing has always been her passion; however, she is even more passionate about helping young students learn to read, write, and love grammar! In 2018, Nicole served as vice president on the board of a non-profit preschool and helped develop their pre-reading program. Serving as their reading instructor for many years, she found her true passion in working with families in the early years. Whether she is in the classroom working through grammar drills or playing Play-Doh with preschoolers, Nicole loves the gift of assisting children and families discover their hidden talents and passions. Nicole taught for Kolbe for 6 years in the English and Literature department before moving into various administrative roles. She now serves as the Director of Online Elementary Learning. Nicole and her husband live in Orange County, California, and have three daughters.
