Nicole has been in the workforce since she was 13 years old – beginning at a Baskin-Robbins. Since then, she’s worked at several banks, for United Parcel Service, in the Mickey Mouse store at Union Station, The Gap and other retailers in management capacities. Each one added to her real-world, life experiences.
In her early teens, she discovered the Upward Bound Summer Program at Saint Louis University, which helps inner-city youth. There she was exposed to possibilities that changed her life when a female African-American lawyer spoke to the group.

We’re slowly becoming Africa.
