- Nicole's celebrity writing experience dates back to 2016, when she contributed to building content for the blogs of celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, Snooki, and JWoww.
- While she enjoys working on different projects and thrives when taking on a challenge, the only time writing doesn't feel like work is when she's spreading the good word of Kim Kardashian.
- She likes taking yearly trips to the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, so she can pay a visit to the set of Central Perk in "Friends," which she wholeheartedly believes is her second home.
Experience
In her decade of professional writing experience, Nicole has written all sorts of content, from tweets and greeting cards to listicles and long-form think pieces. She joined Static Media in 2021 as a writer for Nicki Swift, but she has since contributed to other brands, including The List, Women, and Explore. Over the years, her writing has appeared in various places online, including Hello! Magazine, Insider, E! News, and Us Weekly.
Education
