Nicole (she/her) s a versatile performer and accomplished music educator, holding a B.M. in music education from UW-Whitewater and a M.M. in vocal performance from UW-Milwaukee. She shines both on stage and behind the scenes, showcasing her talent in various productions across Milwaukee. In her recent performances, Nicole was seen as an ensemble member and understudy in Skylight Music Theater's electrifying rendition of SPRING AWAKENING, as a swing performer with Kohl’s Wild Theater's summer shows, as Ruth Younger in Fleeing Artists' production of A RAISIN IN THE SUN, as Duppy in First Stage's production of THREE LITTLE BIRDS, and Martha Dunnstock in Outskirts Theatre's production of HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL.

Beyond stage performing, Nicole's passion for theater extends to music directing. She has lent her expertise as a music director most recently to PETER AND THE STARCATCHER at Waukesha Civic Theater, NIGHT OF THE LIVING OPERA with Milwaukee Opera Theatre, and A CHRISTMAS CAROL with the Patio Players. She eagerly anticipates music directing HONK JR. and INTO THE WOODS at Lake Country Playhouse this summer.

Outside of theater, Nicole serves as the music director at Wauwatosa Presbyterian Church, is part of the team at Brass Bell Music Store, and sings with Montage, a dynamic funk cover band. She would like to thank her partner, brother, mother for their continued support of her passions!
