Nicole manages our After-School Enrichment Programs, working directly with parents and school leaders to ensure we are meeting their needs and expectations every step of the way. Nicole received her bachelor’s degree in early childhood/elementary education with a minor in special education from Liberty University.

As a previous Educator with a background in Special Education, Nicole enjoys watching students achieve those “ah-ha” moments. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, going hiking, and being out on the water all year round.

From those moments Nicole learned that teachers can truly inspire youth and build a better future.
