Her love of books was clear from a young age, reading for hours, delving into stories with curiosity and exploring the deeper narratives. This passion for words and need to ask questions has continued into her professional life. From her hometown of Norwich, Nicole splits her time between writing her own work, carefully curating corporate tone of voice and editing books for other authors.

Nicole is working to create a future for her son and daughter where they feel safe to ask questions too, in fostering this environment she recognised a requirement for this approach on a much larger scale. This drive for change led to Nicole founding The Quash in 2023, a community set up to support educators and parents alike to prioritise question led learning and encourage confident and open conversations.
