IN THIS EPISODE, NICOLE EXPLAINS:

• How her dream career in journalism led her to a school communications role.
• Who she reached out to for mentorship and professional growth opportunities when she was starting out.
• Why her district was one of the first to adopt Facebook back in 2009.
• What her team does to balance representation of 20 school buildings on social media.
