Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Nicole grew up swimming.  She started competing at the national level at the age of 12 and didn’t stop until she graduated from college at the University of Georgia.  It shaped her discipline, work ethic, and determination that remains today while creating lifelong relationships.  She spent 8 years in Baltimore, Maryland between working and going to graduate school. Then, she met her husband and moved to Maine.  Currently residing in Cape Elizabeth, Nicole works for a company out of Minneapolis and has a 10 year old daughter, a 5 year old son, and 24 year old stepson.  She has found a wonderful community to stay active all year from swimming, running, cycling, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, etc.

​Like many, Nicole balances work, care giving to  children, care giving to elder parents, marriage, friendships, etc.….and lastly her own well-being. Since she grew up as a competitive swimmer, Nicole has always found solace in the solo journey.  As she shifted to running in her 20s, Nicole was able to combine solitude and community.  Her relationship with competing has ebbed and flowed but just running has always been there.  As the fall marathon season ended and Nicole started into 2023, she thought why not coach? Nicole was consulting on the side informally for friends and acquaintances, so Nicole decided to jump in!
