I'm Nicole, a broadcast producer and storyteller with 15+ years of experience turning complex topics into clear, engaging stories for television and digital platforms. I've worked across CNN, MSNBC/NBC, The Associated Press, and Al Jazeera America, honing skills in field producing, scripting, VO, and audio-first storytelling. I thrive on tight deadlines, collaborative teams, and transforming data-driven insights into human-centered narratives. Most recently I led Nexstar/NewsNation's research and fact-checking for a national cable launch, designing workflows that keep daily and long-form productions moving smoothly. I also produce concise briefs, visual/story recommendations, and risk/logistics notes to keep producers, correspondents, and executives aligned, while maintaining authenticity and credibility through rigorous verification.
