Hi! I'm Nicole. When I was in 6th grade, my dad brought home a VHS camcorder about the size of a small car and from that day, I started making videos. From directing my middle school friends in reenactments of that week's Saturday Night Live, to creating, producing, and starring in a weekly show for my high school television station, I could not get enough. I haven't stopped since.
After studying television and film at Boston University, I got my first real job as an NBC Page, a total thrill for a girl who put "a job at NBC" on her Christmas list in 11th grade (yeah, a Christmas list in 11th grade). As a Page, I gave tours of NBC, arranged pastry trays at the Today Show, and opened doors for cast members at Saturday Night Live. It was ah-mazing.
From there, I went on to produce for some of the most talented and funny people in the business, including Conan O'Brien and Stephen Colbert (for more on that, click on the "work" tab). I’ve also dabbled in live events, highlighting badass women for Tina Brown’s Women in the World, and delving into big scientific concepts with physicist Brian Greene (along with Alan Alda and Tina Fey) for The World Science Festival. As Co-EP of the Disney + game show, The Big Fib, I worked with some of the most impressive kids I’ve ever met and the talented and charming Yvette Nicole Brown and Rhys Darby.
Most recently, I took a deep dive into the two dimensional world as Co-EP of the daily animated news satire, Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out the News.
I have interviewed a broad range of subjects, including the one-and-only Oprah, a couple former Presidents, a few James Bonds, several Nobel laureates, an orangutan, and the world's most sentient robot. I learned a little something from every last one of them.
I also have an MFA in screenwriting from Emerson College.
