About Nicole

Welcome!

Before you check out my writing, here’s some background on me:

I was born and raised in suburban New Jersey. I grew up playing all kinds of sports. When I moved to Ann Arbor to attend the University of Michigan, I knew I wanted to find a way to stay involved in the world of sports, but I wasn’t sure how. A friend suggested I join The Michigan Daily, the school’s student newspaper, in the fall of 2007, so I did. That decision sparked my love for journalism and introduced me to the world of big-time college athletics.

Over the past five years, I’ve lived all over the country — from Ann Arbor and Cape Cod to Boston and Washington, D.C., while attending school and working for The Trentonian, The Cape Cod Times, The Boston Globe and USA TODAY.

The best part of sportswriting is the people — coworkers, colleagues, coaches, players and fans. Sports don’t mean much without the stories behind the people playing them. Those stories are what I love to share. I hope you browse through my website and find something you’re interested in reading. Enjoy!
