News ReporterNicole got her start working the 4:00 am modern rock shift for her college radio station. Before joining Maine Public, she spent eight years covering the federal workforce for Federal News Network, an online and radio outlet based in Washington, D.C., where she lived before moving to Maine in 2020. Nicole graduated from Ithaca College with a journalism and politics degree. She grew up outside Baltimore, Maryland, and is (perhaps unfortunately) still an Orioles fan.
