Pillars of Inspiration Shaping Nicole's Journey

The insights we gather during our formative years have a way of impacting the rest of our lives This adage is more than true for Nicole who grew up in the shadow of an empowered female figure As Nicole heads one of the largest and steadily growing PR agencies, she is reminded of this key influence on her entrepreneurial journey. Nicole credits her mother for the relentless drive to excel she espouses today. Growing up, Nicole witnessed her mom balance work and home. She witnessed her mom take care of six kids on her own, while simultaneously handling business operations Her mother's zeal and resilience give her the inspiration she needs to strike the perfect balance in her life as a mother and CEO.

Garnering Recognition as a Female PRWarrior

Nicole's place as a leading female executive in the PR field is indisputable. Her role in leading NRPR has achieved boundless recognition ever since the venture's inception In 2017, Nicole was honoured with the StevieAwardsTop Female Executive in the PR Industry award. In the same year, she was also bestowed the

Bulldog Reporter's 2017 Gold Public Relations Professional of theYear award. In 2020, Nicole was named as the Business Role Model of the Year in theWomenWorld Awards for Female Achievers. Most recently, she has received the Most Innovative PR Entrepreneur (USA) award in the 2021 Influential BusinessWomen Awards

those who can inspire and empower others to carve out their own paths of success. Nicole is one such rare gem who has managed to not inspire others but has worked tirelessly to charter an actionable course of empowerment.

Her empowerment journey started in 2017 as the NRPR Group's CSR program -

While Nicole's professional successes have been widely celebrated with awards and accolades, she values her role as a mother to be equally seminal.According to Nicole, having raised her daughter as a driven and exceptional young woman is one of her greatest achievements in life.

ALeaderEmpowering Others

Being a great leader isn't just about basking in your own success and chasing the next big accolade True leaders are

'Make It Happen.'This ongoing project soon turned into a second venture for Nicole, one that was focused on helping students find their passion. Established as a nonprofit, theYoung Dreamer's Foundation provides city students with the tools and tactics they need to pave a path for the future It helps aspiring entrepreneurs to connect with executives, celebrities, and athletes to succeed in their future pursuits, both personally and professionally.

“NRPR will continue to grow with the needs of the clients. We will continue to evolve our services and offerings to best meet their needs”
