About

Hi, I’m Nicole.

I grew up in Northeast Ohio, studied environmental policy and food systems at Middlebury College in Vermont, then spent two years covering energy and natural resources in Wyoming for the Casper Star-Tribune. I moved home to the Midwest last summer and am currently based in Wisconsin.

To me, the best journalism takes things that are complicated and makes them feel simple — and personal. I’m in my element while immersing myself in knotty issues, poring over datasets, digging through archives and talking to people who have unusual stories to tell.

My work has also been published by Canary Media, Inside Climate News, Sierra, Heatmap, Latitude Media, Modern Farmer, Reasons to be Cheerful, Great Lakes Now, Distilled, WyoFile, Hospitality Design, Cleveland Magazine and more.
