Nicole has been a part of the Office of the Dean of Students since March 2007. Her time is split between two areas within the office. In her position as a Conduct Officer for Student Judicial Affairs, Nicole meets with students regarding campus policy violations. As a Program Coordinator for Greek Life, she works closely with the culturally based fraternities and sororities to develop the Multicultural Greek Council. Nicole continues to seek opportunities for the organizations to be active and engaged in the campus community.

Nicole received her Bachelors degree in Social Ecology from the University of California, Irvine. After graduation, she worked as a Congressional Fellow for Congresswoman Patsy T. Mink and a staff member for Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald supporting her in areas such as the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and legislative planning meetings. Nicole also served as a research consultant for Ayers& Associates focusing on the structure of alumni giving programs at Traditionally White Institutions (TWIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Nicole feels that UC Irvine provides students with many opportunities to get involved and belong to the campus community. "It is rewarding to see how a student develops from their experiences and I am thrilled to be a part of that transition. Conversely, I believe that we can learn a great deal from the insight of our students." Outside of work, Nicole enjoys spending time with her family and reading.
