Originally from the East Coast, Nicole now calls
Los Angeles home and is the copy editor of Disney
Interactive, where she oversees media and blog
content. When she’s not there or playing with her
popular Instagram cat @lordpizzasmoosh, she’s
writing, enjoying local culinary delights, traveling
and spending time with her most favorite people—
cooking, concocting, and crafting. She also sings
and is looking forward to a home recording space
soon for further fun and experimentation.
