About Nicole

I grew up in a small town in Lane County and attended college in Eugene and Salem. I spent many years working in the real estate industry, helping families and small businesses build stability and plan for the future.

My family and I also lived overseas for several years raising cattle. That experience strengthened my belief in self-reliance, hard work and practical problem solving. We chose to return home to Oregon to raise our family and stay connected to the community we love.

I currently serve on the Springfield Public School Board, where I work to prioritize the needs of students, parents and taxpayers. I have long been an active volunteer and I believe that public service is about listening, accountability and stewardship.

I am running for the Oregon Senate to bring common sense, local perspective, and steady leadership back to Salem.
