Nicole's life began on June 18, 1976 with her birth at Shadyside Hospital. After a fifteen hour labor, and ten days late, Nicole entered the world bright eyed and ready to take on the world.

To no one's surprise, Nicole has done just that. She is not the type of personality to sit back and let things go unchanged. If she feels something isn't quite the way it should be, Nicole will do everything in her power to turn the situation around and make it right.

In order to make things right, Nicole will call whomever and do whatever it takes -- within reason, until she has an answer and the situation is resolved. Nicole has a heart of gold, but don't get in her way because she is ready to take on the world!!

Recently,, Nicole is completed her bachelors degree in journalism at the University of Pittsburgh. It took some time, as she attended on a part-time basis, but she did it. Now, she is thinking about furthering her education; however, knowing how long it might take, she is really giving this a serious thought.

Nicole is employed with the University of Pittsburgh as an administrator.

Using her newly acquired degree, Nicole is now writing for Women's Independent Press.

To look at Nicole, one would think she is not of the Italian decent. She is fair, with blue eyes. She looks more like the German side of the family; however, the blue eyes come from every part of her heritage.

Nicole enjoys various types of music that include the Beatles, The Cure, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Stones. Quite a diversity of music!

Besides the music, she enjoys being with her fiance as well as her friends.

Nicole is engaged to her high school sweetheart, Brian. Although they have not yet set a date, they should be married soon.
