freelance Writing

I cover the intersections of food, health, and environmental justice—where culture and policy meet. My work spans long-form narrative, reported essays, profiles, Q&As, and hard news stories for print and digital outlets.

1:1 coaching

As a certified coach, I help storytellers set goals, navigate transitions, and build careers that don’t cost them their health.

  • Writers, journalists, filmmakers, artists, and anyone who sees themselves as a storyteller. I’m especially committed to supporting women of color.

    Working with me might be right for you if:

    • You’re ready to set goals and take action.

    • You want guidance, a sounding board, and accountability.

    • You don’t want a cookie-cutter formula, but space to get clear on what’s right for you.

  • I typically offer two options:

    • A one-time, 90-minute deep dive session

    • A customized coaching package with biweekly sessions

“I cannot recommend working with Nicole enough . . . You will feel buoyed, supported, seen, and excited about your future!”
