Nicole is passionate about “changing the face of long-term care” and making life better for those living with dementia; a goal which is close to her heart, as her grandfather lived with dementia in a care facility.  Nicole said, “Everything I do in this role will be, ‘in my mind’, in memory of him”.

Nicole is motivated and mission oriented. She hopes to increase the quality of life for all who are living with dementia. She shared, “I am excited to start this new venture. My goal is to improve the lives of the dementia care population and revolutionize the way we provide dementia care”.

Outside of work, Nicole enjoys trips to Disney, spending time and playing games (especially Disney themed ones) with family, and above all, reading.
