Her Story

About Nicole

I started my career as a social worker working in healthcare for seven years. Then I pursued research and academia to prevent problems, earning my PhD. I've been in academia since 2006 as a researcher and educator. Now I'm developing a prevention-focused mobile application to address student mental health challenges on college campuses post-COVID, combining my social work, research, and professor backgrounds.
