Nicole Nalls
Oak Park, IL
Nicole Nalls is a writer/editor. She had the pleasure of working as an intern, and later the social media manager, for the now defunct Venus Zine magazine. It was there that she learned to appreciate the creative side of her writing. She's also benefited from the (less) pleasurable experience of working as a content editor, spending long hours reviewing and researching content on education and careers. Fun stuff. But through all this, she learned that creative content without a technical eye typically results in hard to read drivel.
Recently, Nicole went back to her sociological roots and now works as a Qualified Developmental Disabilities Professional. Difficult, stressful, yet entirely fulfilling.
Although it would seem her background comes from two different, unrelated worlds, she wouldn't trade the totality of her experiences for anything in the world...even if it meant she'd be a millionaire by now.
