Originally from Maryland, Nicole moved to sunny Florida seven years ago and ended up falling in love with the ocean.  Nicole is a NAUI Dive Master and currently attends New College of Florida where she is able to incorporate foreign languages, marine biology, Latin American studies, and foreign policy into an "International & Area of Studies" major.  What she loves best about Sea Trek is unplugging from the real world and spending time getting to explore and learn the marine environment with campers and fellow staff. She is a big fan of learning, traveling, dark chocolate, corny jokes, marine fish and other marine fauna (especially bioluminescence!)  In her spare time, Nicole enjoys sailing for her school's sailing team, cooking, riding her bike, being outdoors, and playing scrabble.
