Here is a little more about Nicole:
1. What do you do to turn things around when you are having a bad day?
a. I usually take a minute to myself and just regroup. I like to refresh when having a bad day and change my mindset. I also like to do something I enjoy for a short break.
2. Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give your 18-year-old self?
a. I would say to take everything at your own pace. It may feel like everything, and everyone is moving through life fast but it’s best to always take things at your own time because there is so much of it left.
3. What motivates you to work hard?
a. What motivates me is being passionate about whatever I am working on. If I am interested in the topic or subject, it’s very easy for me to slip into the “work hard” mode.
4. If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
a. I would live in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico if I could live anywhere because it is warm all the time and near the water.
5. Where is the most interesting place you have been?
a. The most interesting place I have been to is a small town in Brazil called Buzios. It is about 2 hours outside of Rio and is also right on the coast. The people and food are amazing along with the weather.
6. What are some of your hobbies? and how did you get into them?
a. My main hobby is playing golf. My dad started me playing golf when I was 7 years old, and I have been playing ever since. I was on my high school golf team and enjoy playing in the summer months in Colorado.
