Nicole joined our staff in April 2010. She graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1993. When not working, you can find her helping each member of the nursing staff to meet their professional goals. Nicole shares, “When I was a child, I was that kid who saw a hurt animal — bird, mouse, feral cat, pigeon — and would bring it home to try to save its life. In high school, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to study in college. I started out cleaning for a vet hospital and then was trained on the job after I showed interest in what they were doing. Now, I can’t imagine doing anything else.” [citation]
