Nicole is great: smart, perceptive, focused and empathetic. She demands as much from herself as from others. Anyone who has the chance to work with her should jump at the opportunity.

Paul Samuels

Nicole was a great asset to the Legal Action Center (LAC) during her time working for us. As our very first Communications Director, she pioneered LAC's entry into social media; integrated the many systems we had for e-advocacy, donations, web forms, and purchases into a single system; and played a leadership role in our strategic planning process, including facilitating staff feedback, that resulted in a new management structure. Equally important, she is an absolute pleasure to work with!
