Nicole came into the world screaming and was a born drama queen. All through childhood she would create her own plays and characters which she continues to do, only now professionally. Nicole has performed in such plays as An Inspector Calls, Noises Off and appeared in various short films and television series i,e Underbelly. She has even begun producing and writing, one project example which she wrote with Director Billy Minshull-Gander called, Ruby's Balloon (where she played Ruby Windfield).
