Nicole lives in Los Angeles and grew up in Colorado, a friendly place where people dress as if they’re ready to go hiking at a moment’s notice. (Ed: Nicole never did go on any spur of the moment hikes, but the important thing was that she was ready.)

She attended The University of Chicago, where she graduated with honors in English Language and Literature. Ever curious, Nicole also took classes in as many different disciplines as possible, including math, film, history, astronomy, political science, and Egyptology.  She’s now taking her love of learning in a more quantitative direction by pursuing a masters degree in data science.
