Right after the loss of her mother, Nicole worked at the Donut Connection, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There she endured months of sexual harassment and molestation. Nicole eventually quit and never looked back. She hopes to help others out there open up to their painful experiences by sharing her own.

"There will be a song on my next album about my experience working there and I hope it will help others see that they are not alone." Nicole Stated. Education:
