Healthcare has been my compass from as far back as I can recall. The desire to help others and form meaningful connections has always been ingrained in me, making healthcare a natural fit. Hearing my mother recount the profound influence of the nurses who cared for her during her battle with cancer left an indelible mark on my heart. Witnessing how their compassion and support made a difference in her life ignited a spark within me. Their stories inspired me to become that source of comfort and care for others’ loved ones. If I can touch even a single patient or family in the same way, I’ll feel my purpose fulfilled. For me, healthcare isn’t just a job; it’s a deeply rooted calling to make a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
In the Department of OB/GYN, Nicole provides her patients with family planning and birth control counseling, as well as routine gynecological services including physical exams, pap smears, and preventative health screenings.
When I’m not at work, you’ll often find me soaking up the simple joys of life with my fiancé and our lively 2-year-old dog, Pickles. Whether it’s exploring nature, staying active, or catching live music, these moments recharge me. I especially love unwinding with a long hike on the weekends. Beyond that, my fiancé and I enjoy traveling and cherish quality time with our loved ones.
Women’s health as a specialty is marked by both moments of great joy and profound challenges. It’s a field that encompasses subjects that many women may feel uneasy discussing and seeking care for. I’ve found that my knack for building rapport and connecting with others through empathy and compassion creates a reassuring environment for my patients.
