Nikole is originally from Florida, where the tourism industry is a driving force that fuels and shapes the community. Inspired by the impact tourism has on individuals and destinations alike, she developed a passion for creating inclusive, creative, sustainable, and transformative guest experiences.  Upon earning her degree in Hospitality & Tourism Management from Florida International University, she discovered a deep interest in Destination Management. That passion ultimately drew her to Washington, DC where tourism thrives in celebration of culture, history, and diversity.

When she’s not at work, Nikole can be found reading, running and hiking with her dog, creating art, and continuing her education in American Sign Language.
