Nichole Francis

Mayo, Ireland

Nichole Francis, 23, also known as Nikki, lives in the Republic of Ireland with her partner Gethin, one year old son Joshua, and their 2 cats, Skittles and Smartie.

Employed as a community artist by her local county council, Nichole spends a lot of her time working with different groups and organisations facilitating community art services and workshops. These groups and organisations include youth groups, active retirement groups and local theatre.

Aside from her job, Nichole is shortly going to begin vlogging on YouTube. She wants to use this platform to record and document the lives of the people she loves most, so that in years to come, everyone can look back and remember the little details they may have forgotten.

She also hopes to use her YouTube channel to address sensitive subjects such as recurrent miscarriage, a subject close to her heart. She has suffered 5 miscarriages in total, 2 before having her son, and 3 after, between March and July 2013. She hopes to be able to reach out to other people who have suffered the same or similar heartache, with the view to create a supportive environment where experiences can be shared and hearts can be healed.
