A naturally visual learner and communicator, Nicole created her first visualizations—maps of real and imaginary worlds—in MacPaint on her family's original Apple Macintosh. (Yes, the beige one.)

Now, she analyzes and visualizes data in Tableau and with code—on a Mac, of course! She puts her English degree and love of writing to work in her blog, SELECT * FROM data;, leads Women in Dataviz, is a Tableau Social Ambassador, and co-leads the Healthcare Tableau User Group and Tampa Bay Tableau User Group.

In 2022, she was nominated for Vizzie awards in data storytelling and community leadership. Her work has been selected for Tableau's Viz of the Day twice, and she is featured in the 2023 Tableau Conference Viz Gallery.
