As a journalist, curator, sociologist, and life junkie, Courtney Nichols has maintained a deep rooted obsession with culture, through what lens people enter contemporary culture, and ways in which contemporary culture transforms to reflect global change.

Courtney most recently was the VP of New Music & Culture and Director of Emerging Talent for MOX TV - a position that combined Courtney's undying passion for music, social media, writing, and the public domain.

Additionally, Courtney is the editor and founder of FRUITFLYLIFE, a media outlet that highlights characters and creations within popular culture that stray from the established norm. FRUITFLYLIFE was invited to participate on a SXSW 2011 curated panel on diversity - Future15 - which showcased media outlets tampering and rebuilding preconceived notions of mainstream and underground idioms.

Courtney's life is full of obsession and she wouldn't have it any other way.
