Since 2017, Nicole has served as the Supervising Editor for Photography at NPR. Prior to joining NPR, Nicole was Senior Digital Photo Editor at National Geographic. While there, Nicole managed a team of five photo editors, assigned and edited photo and multimedia stories from across the world to publish online and in their prestigious magazine, and helped run NatGeo’s social media accounts. Nicole worked with veteran National Geographic photographers and editors as well as recruited new photographers into the fold. She helped bring Agile methodologies into the NatGeo newsroom and worked as a multimedia coach for the Society’s grantees and explorers.
Nicole broke much ground as part of the NPR homepage team that helped develop the website’s look and feel, breaking news capacity, and multimedia storytelling. She was an editor and writer, trainer, and, along with the other homepage editors, served as the template for the engagement staff NPR has today.
Nicole also spent 10 years as an editor at The Washington Post, where she was a Projects Editor, Photo Editor, and Deputy News Editor. She worked on a variety of important stories, from the September 11, 2001 attacks to Hurricane Katrina. While at The Post, her duties included managing photographers on their multiple Pulitzer Prize-winning staff, art directing the Sunday Outlook section, and working with the executive editor to select stories for the front page.
