In 2012, Nicole had the honor to be personally trained by Vice President Al Gore as a volunteer Climate Leader and public speaker. Since then, she has been lecturing and giving presentations to university students, peers, conference participants, museum goers, and grandparents about climate change, animal welfare and how best to implement solutions.

Nicole has found that many people do not realize the extent to which animals and individuals are suffering throughout the world. Education is the first step towards positive change. Because of her influence and public speaking skills, Nicole was chosen in 2013, 2015, and 2017 to serve as a Mentor and again work with Vice President Gore to train new Climate Leaders.

Nicole is a passionate public speaker with more than twenty years of professional experience.    She holds several degrees, speaks four languages, and has lived & traveled all over the world.  Nicole hopes to inspire people to reduce their carbon footprint, and ensure a better future for the world’s wildlife and children.
