Nicole’s upbringing taught her perseverance and the value of community. Her family faced financial and health challenges, leading her to work through high school as a library assistant, babysitter, tutor, and waitress. Nicole was fortunate to receive emotional and financial support from many fellow Kauaians. She was treated with aloha even when she stuck out from the crowd: she acted like a hippie and she talked like a haole. The empathy she received empowered Nicole to stand up for her beliefs, while also respecting those of others. It taught her that she is not better than anyone else. Nicole went on to receive her B.S. and M.S. from Stanford University, focused on environmental engineering, science, and policy. She also received an MBA from Mills College. Nicole’s very first college internship was at the state capitol in California. She was frustrated to see many lawmakers acting like they were in middle school, voting down bills over bribes or ego issues. Nicole decided that she did not want to go into politics after all. Instead, she worked for a decade fighting pollution - especially plastic pollution - in the private, public, and non-profit sectors. However, Nicole couldn’t resist staying involved in politics, volunteering for and donating to a number of candidates. Honestly, those who were elected seemed to cave to pressure. If elected, Nicole will remember the importance of keeping the fight going for the people without the power to fight for themselves. She is committed to tackling problems with an open mind and a sense of humor.
