I'll cold call for you.

Try me out for £1,000.

30-50 conversations with your target market.

I'll provide the list, mobile numbers, and reporting.

All I need to know is the problems you solve, who you solve them for, and why they'd be motivated to solve them.

If it goes well, we keep working together.

If not, you walk away.

Resident Assistant

I know what it's like to be the only one. 
And, I don’t want that to be true for anyone else.

My story started when I pursued a  Bachelor's degree in Geology and Africana studies at Oberlin College. I was obsessed with history on human and geological time scales and wanted to see more people of color involved in the global conversation about climate change.

I followed my passion to pursue a masters in Geology with a specialization in Paleoclimatology and traveled all over the country and even to Peru to collect data about earth’s changing climate.

Being the only Black woman in my program taught me, quickly, that departmental climate plays a huge role in retention and persistence for marginalized people. I drew from my experiences to become an advocate for systemic change.

My interests in STEM and issues of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion led me to: 
💡 Mentor historically underserved students to navigate STEM education
💡 Build and sustain interdisciplinary faculty and staff learning communities 
💡 Facilitate collective responsibility and accountability for change in higher education

On  LinkedIn that looks like creating content:
1️⃣ Sharing best practices for diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM
2️⃣ Advocating for historically marginalized people in higher education

👩🏾‍🎓 If you are a minoritized person who needs a sounding board in navigating STEM, Higher education, and/or funding for graduate school my inbox is always open. DM me.

📊 If you are a part of an organization that needs a catalyst toward change in your setting, let's hop on a call and see if I might be a good fit.

And, finally I’ll leave you with a few testimonials because when I asked, my communities had lots to say about me:

“ The energy [Nicollette] brought to the space was so positive and apparent to others, and even more than that i felt seen “

“It was simply enjoyable to share the time and space of being both supported and challenged intellectually and professionally”

"Nicollette is a leader! She is able to gather people for a common goal and spread warmth, cheer, and love into any room that she occupies."

“ I always felt that [Nicollette]  had a ton of integrity and commitment to her values. It made me and others want to work with her more because I always felt I was getting her honest take, honest feedback, and that we were coming in to projects and conversations with clear and honest intentions.”
