Nicole Hicks

Nicole Hicks currently lives in Montgomery County as a single mom of three fantastic teenagers. Nicole is an Account Specialist in Beltsville, MD where she has worked for over 5 years.

She has served our country as a Supply Sergeant in the United States Army for 8 years. Nicole is also the current social media manager for a local non-profit organization called, YoungLives. This organization provides love, support and assistance to local teenage moms. She previously worked with another non-profit organization called P.E.P. (People Effecting People), where they were intentional in being present to increase moral and unity in their community.

She consistently volunteers her time to give back to others not only as one of her enjoyable hobbies, but to also honor the death of her mother who was also a dedicated Willing Worker.

In her spare time, Nicole likes to work out, read, and spend time with her children but has always had a deep love for writing, poetry and music. She enjoyed writing so much as a young child, her mom entered her into many writing and essay contests. As a teenager, her highest writing accomplishment was when she won first place for the M.A.D.D. (Mother’ Against Drunk Driving) campaign and was selected to read her essay live on the radio.

Presently, Nicole is completing a bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Southern New Hampshire University. Where she plans to work one day professionally in the Mental Health field as a life coach or counselor.

Nicole is a hard worker and doesn’t allow obstacles to slow her down. Nothing has been easy for her, but from her life lessons, her goal is to prevent others from experiencing the same losses by providing inspiration through her writing, music and posts. Her prayer is to continue to grow in positiveness, and to be an inspiration not only to her children, but an encouraging help and light to those she encounters.
