Working for non-profits and connecting families to resources has always brought Nicole purpose. Most recently she coordinated Child Nutrition Programs for the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. Nicole has also worked in childcare settings for the Napa Valley Unified School District, Napa County Office of Education and Child Start Inc. She believes that when you invest in children and families the community thrives.

One of her most recent professional successes is bringing cost savings and increasing capacity to Child Programs, so students have the same access to nutrition during the weekend. Nicole holds an Assistant and Associate Teacher Certificate and a bachelor’s degree in clinical nutrition.

In her spare time, she enjoys gardening, camping, and spending time with her family and friends.
