Nicole earned her BS in Environmental Horticulture from the University of Minnesota in 2006 and her Master's of Occupational Therapy degree from the University of Minnesota in 2019. She took a break from horticulture in 2012 and began providing childcare for her adorable niece who became her guide into the wonderful world of OT. Motivated by the higher quality of life occupational therapy brought to her niece, she decided to change careers to assist others in the same way. When her niece was old enough to attend school, Nicole returned to the classroom as well to earn her OT degree. During her training, she attended a class at Points of Stillness and knew then that she wanted to become a part of our team. Nicole and her husband welcomed their daughter into the world in March 2021 and she brings them heaps of joy each day! Outside of OT and her family, Nicole enjoys gardening, spending time outdoors, baking, and animals.
