Ten minutes with Nicole

01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

It is challenging. On paper I look amazing but no one knows what happened behind the scenes. Tough times don't last. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. These bad times are just a season. You gotta go through it, that's how you grow. You really have to believe in yourself. You have to be your biggest cheerleader and you have to be resilient.
