I'm Nicole and I'm setting out to thru-hike the AT in 2025! I love challenges, experiences, and adventure and this is one that's been on my list for about 10 years. In my normal life I'm an afterschool teacher (shout out MAPsters) and had the wonderful chance to teach art to - and learn from - some incredible artists leading up to this next journey! I spend most of my time with my family and dog, Voodoo, in MA or my partner and loved ones in New Orleans (if you see me crying, missing them will be why!). So excited to share this hike with everyone back home - keep being YOU!
