As a financial professional, she’s on a mission to help mothers set up and enforce money boundaries; unwind familial money baggage, and become the compassionate CFOs of their families.

Nicole lends her expertise as a consultant, helping both established companies and startups build meaningful connections with wealth positivity. Nicole received her undergraduate degree from Georgia State University, her MBA in Digital Entrepreneurship from Strayer, and was awarded an honorary doctorate recognized for her work in business.
