Since graduating from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2007, Nicole has worked on both sides of the fence in civil litigation. Immediately after graduation, she worked as an associate with a Madison based law firm handling a variety of insurance defense cases, with a focus on medical malpractice. In 2010, she opened a satellite office for a large personal injury firm in Appleton, allowing her to gain experience as a trial attorney and in office management.

While at SECURA Nicole\'s role focused on managing litigated files, reviewing insurance coverage issues, and assisting with a variety of projects within the company. In 2022, Nicole joined Great American Insurance Group as Senior Claims Counsel in the Corporate Claims division. Her current role focuses on providing coverage analysis and training to GAIG\'s various business units. In her spare time, Nicole enjoys spending time with her family, distance running, competing in triathlons, and kayaking/rowing.
