About

From suburbia near Toronto, most at home in nature.

Nicole has always been drawn to the natural world. After spending time with scientists, conservationists, and biologists, she noticed a glaring gap: communication. Stories hold the power to change people’s minds, and change their behaviours. For some, it’s numbers and statistics, but for many, it’s stories that dare us to picture a new world.

For the past year, Nicole has been working in media and communications at Raincoast Conservation Foundation, an independent science organization using applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for the conservation debate and the collective body of scientific knowledge.

Nicole’s conservation storytelling has been featured by CBC’s The National, the Vancouver Aquarium, BlogTO, The Dodo, WWF, and the David Suzuki Foundation.
