Nicole's Story
Life
I am currently working as a Meteorologist for The Weather Channel, and the following is my bio, also posted on the TWC website.....
Nicole began her career in weather right out of High School, when she joined the Air National Guard and was trained by the military first as a Weather Observer, then as a Weather Forecaster. Her work with the military has given her the opportunity to forecast weather both around the country and around the world. She has worked as a military forecaster in Europe in support of military operations in both Kosovo and Bosnia, and even worked in Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. In 2003, Nicole transferred from the National Guard into the Air Force Reserves, where she now works as a Weather Officer for the Hurricane Hunters, a unit which performs reconnaissance missions into tropical weather to gather data which aids in the forecasting of tropical storms and hurricanes. Storms she has flown into include hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Katrina.

as a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Minnesota in Speech-Communications. She started in television at a TV station in Duluth, MN, where she worked as an Assignment Manager, but also reported, produced, and began doing TV weather. She then worked as a TV Meteorologist at in Rapid City, SD, South Bend, IN, and finally Tulsa, OK, before joining The Weather Channel the summer of 2004. She is also a member of the American Meteorological Society, and has held the AMS Seal since 2000.
In her free time, Nicole believes strongly in a commitment to community service and volunteerism. She especially enjoys working with children, and loves getting students excited about math and science. Her own love of learning has her currently pursuing a Law degree at Georgia State University. She also has a strong sense of adventure, loves to travel all over the world, and has tried everything from kayaking and white water rafting to sky diving. She has ventured to every continent (yes, even Antarctica!), and has even climbed Africa's highest mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro.
