Hi, I'm Nicole!

I've faced many challenges living with a chronic illness since being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 10. Over the past 26 years, I've been deeply involved in various MS advisory groups and councils, sharing my insights and experiences.

Originally from Boston, I now live in Los Angeles and hold a Public Health Degree from Syracuse University. For 20 years, I kept my illness private, but eventually decided to use my Public Health background and years of experience with MS to help others.

My passion lies in supporting individuals diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and other chronic illnesses. I aim to help them navigate their challenges, ensuring they feel understood and hopeful. Through creative content and media opportunities, I offer guidance and support.

My videos combine visuals, sound, and emotions to tell powerful stories and connect with audiences. This approach has allowed me to collaborate with various health-focused companies.

Partnerships established with leading organizations and non-profits

Whether it's speaking engagements or content partnerships, I believe in working together to make a positive impact in the chronic illness community.
