Professionally, Nicole has gained experience in agricultural advocacy, communications, and public service.

This summer, Nicole will serve as a congressional intern for Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz, where she looks forward to gaining firsthand experience in the legislative process.
In her free time, Nicole enjoys spending time with family and friends, staying involved in her faith community, and mentoring students. Following her internship, she plans to pursue a career at the intersection of agriculture, policy, and communications, with the goal of serving rural communities and advocating for the agricultural industry.
