Here are some words from some of my most favorite people on the planet.

(I am happy to provide full references upon request.)

"Nicole's fluency in Spanish gave her skills necessary to prepare several teams of youth and adults for mission trips to Mexico. She genuinely loves working with children and youth, and her own passion for life is contagious and draws people to her."

- The Rev. Andrea Martin, Assistant Rector of St. Patrick's Church (Washington, D.C.)

"Nicole's creativity and work ethic, as well as her willingness to seek out new ways of reaching all of her students, showed her dedication to her role as an educator. She will truly impart her joy of the language and culture to the students she teaches, but just as important she will serve as a wonderful role model."

- Mrs. Rochelle Banerjee, former Spanish teacher and co-leader with Nicole for high school tour of Spain

"Both of my daughters were mentored by Nicole. In this capacity, I was able to witness Nicole’s character and demeanor first-hand. I was impressed with the way she consistently treated every youth with respect. Her compassion and understanding of situations unique to Junior and Senior High students was always evident."

 

- Mr. David M. Lapp, 5th Grade Teacher at Highcliff Elementary School, North Hills School District
