Nicole was blessed with the opportunity to join the amazing TPS team in 2023. She believes that all individuals possess the potential to grow and shine bright. She strives to create the just-right environment for students to be their best. In the Inclusion role you may find her building relationships, promoting self advocacy, celebrating strengths, and supporting needs. After school she is hanging out with her twins (who are TPS students), her teenage daughter, and three cats. If there is time left over, reading novels and watching mystery movies are a bonus.
