Nicole joined WEV December 2014 and had been working in the non-profit sector for 12 years, specifically with organizations in programs designed to break the cycle of generational poverty. After a trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Nicole became conscious of the incredible impact economic empowerment can have on transforming an individual and a community. She obtained a master’s degree from Pepperdine University in Social Entrepreneurship and Change. As the Program Officer for WEV’s Learning Solutions, Nicole is part of the team responsible for delivering the highest quality education and training programs to our clients in both Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. Nicole enjoys reading and is an honorary citizen of Disneyland.
