About Imani Nicholas

I’m a marketer and project manager, and always have been at heart. Through my experiences in health and youth development, through to my current role managing programs that impact upwards of people, I’ve always been much better at managing big-picture projects and influencing teams to align on common objectives, and creating unique brand experiences that leave positive emotional imprints on target audiences.
