She began her career with the Geauga County ESC at Cardinal Local and was hired by the Akron Public School District in 2011, where she works at Firestone CLC and various other elementary buildings throughout the district. In 2016, she became a State Board Licensed School Psychologist; she is an active member of the Kent Akron Association of School Psychologists (KAASP) and Ohio School Psychologist Association (OSPA).

Nichole hails from Orrville, Ohio and currently resides in Canal Fulton with her husband, Ryan, two youngsters, Rylinn and Branson, and friendly black cat, Apollo.
