About Nicole

Nicole is excited to be a part of the iLEAD team, supporting all learners and their families in forming, implementing, and enjoying their own educational journey. She earned a B.A. in liberal studies from Westmont college, a multiple subject teaching credential from CSUF, and an M.S. in Elementary Reading and Literacy from Walden University.

Throughout her ten years as a classroom teacher and four years as a reading specialist, Nicole has held firm to the principle that families are the first and primary teachers. In this spirit, working closely with families to provide tailored instruction and support continues to be a high priority and great passion for her.

In her free time, Nicole is an avid reader and writer, loves fiber arts like sewing and crochet, and loves spending time at home and in nature with her husband and three school aged children.
