She has won statewide awards for her graphics and designs, including a Best in Show award for her news page design from Feb. 3, 2011, when Steamboat schools closed for the day because of temperatures that dipped to minus 40.
Between stints at the Pilot & Today, Nicole worked for Steamboat Resort, where she served as a brand ambassador and content creator, oversaw the world-renowned ski area’s social media and blogging strategies, and helped execute media and public relations efforts.
