Even though more than a decade has past since her appearance on Solid Gold, Nicole still makes her living in the dance profession! Solid Gold fans knew her as an athletic dancer with a strong ballet background, but Nicole has proven that she's more than that! Throughout her career, she has taken on the positions of owner, director, producer, choreographer, production coordinator, instructor and singer! Born in Colorado and raised in Missouri, Nicole was inspired by her mother, who was a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theater, to pursue dancing. Yet, she did not being studying dance until the age of nine, because her mother insisted she wait. It should be no surprise that Nicole started her training with gymnastics, and then moved on to other styles of dance such as ballet.

Following her high school graduation, Nicole travelled to Europe and lived in Paris for several months. She also worked in Argentina and Tokyo before moving back to the United States to work in Las Vegas. There, she worked at the Silver Slipper in "Branded" and at the Riviera Hotel in its "Solid Gold" production.
