About Nicole

Improved Employee Engagement • Decreased Employee Attrition • Driving Organizational Success

For over 20 years, my focus has been in helping people grow, learn, and develop self-confidence so they can achieve their goals.

As a strategy leader for high-performing teams, seeing others succeed under my guidance is what keeps me motivated. After enhancing access to employee wellness and creating a more employee-centric environment, turnover decreased by over 30%, while client satisfaction doubled within the first 90 days.

As a manager in a local formalwear retailer, we faced outgrowing the current location, which required an increase in revenue to afford the expansion.

My strategy and creative approach scaled the business:

  • Secured new avenues for revenue
  • Expanded existing customer base
  • Increased sales by over 300% in a two-year period
Education
Pioneer Pacific College

When a vocational college was struggling to connect with prospective students, enrollment sharply declined.

As Director of Admissions, my research-backed proposed strategy pushed for new outreach methods, resulting in:

  • 40% increase in student engagement
  • 20%+ jump in enrollment in less than one year
Nonprofit
Jasper Mountain

 A regional nonprofit faced a multi-million dollar deficit that put programs at risk.

Collaborating with the Director of Finance and other agency personnel, we led finance initiatives resulting in:

  • Eliminated $2+ million deficit over 6-month period
  • Operations as usual, leaving program and service offerings unaffected

Nicole consistently demonstrates strong leadership skills and a genuine passion for her work.

"Nicole's impact was clearly felt throughout the organization. She developed and delivered much-needed training programs that addressed key areas for improvement, traveling between our Oregon and Alaska sites to ensure staff received these valuable resources."
