    Gerard Babitts

    [As Nicole's former manager at Rite Aid], I was perpetually impressed by Nicole's proactive work ethic, leadership, knowledge, networking, empathy, and curiosity. She's always in joyous learning mode about the latest digital developments, management approaches, consumer insights, analytics developments, and marketing strategies. She was an indispensable member of a very lean digital marketing team. I'd hire her again without a second thought.

    Nicole was one of the most helpful business partners with whom I have worked. She was very helpful enabling our region to activate the digital tools that are essential for our daily operations. It has been a pleasure to work with her to get things done thanks to her endless dedication and persistence. She has the natural talent to get right people together and get things done. Undoubtedly she would make a great addition to any organization as a team member or a visionary leader.

She consistently goes above and beyond when completing tasks, and her follow-through under tight deadlines is unparalleled. For these reasons and more, Her expertise helped guide my team's social content strategy. Not only was she happy to answer my questions, but she consistently helped keep me abreast of trends and how to drive insights with data. Nicole is an extremely talented thought leader in the world of digital and social, not to mention a wonderful person to be around as well.
