Multimedia Journalist

Nicole was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and graduated from LSU in May 2024 with a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Business.
During college, she worked as a news reporter, producer, and anchor for LSU's student-run news station. In the summer of 2023, she was a news intern at KPRC2 in Houston, which is when she discovered her love for investigative journalism. During her senior year of college, she worked as a part-time news reporter at WBRZ Channel 2 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Nicole is thankful to be back in Texas and a little bit closer to home, and she is excited to make Bryan/College Station her new home.
