Embarking on Her Journey

Nicole's leadership journey began in high school, where she held roles such as the first female student body president and president of DECA, a student organization focusing on marketing and management. She honed her skills by participating in and winning various marketing competitions. In college, she discovered her passion for Public Relations and decided to pursue it as her career path.

Her journey started in the tech industry, but she soon realized her true calling lay in PR. With a dream in her heart, Nicole ventured into the world of PR, where she crafted strategic campaigns for renowned companies like Yahoo!, Dolby, and Sony Pictures Entertainment. Her vast experience paved the way for her to establish NRPR Group.

NRPR Group specializes in Public Relations, Marketing Communications, Social Media Marketing, Events, Influencer Relations, and Digital Marketing. Nicole founded NRPR with a vision to transform the PR industry and bring innovation to the forefront.

Navigating Challenges Along the Journey

Just like many other startups, NRPR Group faced its fair share of hurdles and obstacles while establishing itself in the industry. However, under Nicole's leadership, the team tackled every challenge with determination and resilience.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought about unprecedented challenges, but NRPR saw them as opportunities for growth. Instead of succumbing to the difficulties, they helped their clients adapt their strategies to the changing landscape. Throughout 2020 and 2021, NRPR supported clients in pivoting their services to address COVID-19 needs, crafting new messaging to showcase their resilience and global impact.

The Support System Behind Nicole's Inspiring Journey

Nicole's path to becoming a founder, CEO, and business leader was shaped by the support and guidance of several influential figures throughout her life. Her mother, a single parent with unwavering determination, instilled in Nicole a strong work ethic and the courage to pursue her dreams. As the eldest sibling, Nicole naturally honed her leadership skills while growing up.

During her college years, a perceptive professor recognized Nicole's talent for communication and encouraged her to explore a career in public relations. Over the next two decades, Nicole had the privilege of working with and learning from prominent figures in the PR and business world.

Nicole credits individuals like Phillip Alvelda, the former CEO of MOBITV, for empowering her and sharing invaluable wisdom along her journey. She believes that without their guidance and support, she wouldn't be the person she is today.

Message for the Readers

Nicole finds great inspiration in the words of Rocky Balboa: "It's not about how hard you hit, but about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." She believes this quote holds even greater relevance in today's pandemic-stricken world.
