Nicole Hansen is currently a stay-at-home mom with two children. Her husband is a landscape architect. Nicole was born in Utah. She met her husband at Utah state where she studied Chemistry. She worked as a chemist for about 12 years, most of which time was spent in pharmaceuticals. She later taught at the college level, worked for the department of defense, and in the tech industry before her first child was born.

Nicole grew a love for numbers, and also dual careered in investing and real estate.  Through all her experiences, she gained a love for identifying the Lord's hand in her life and seeing His ways and patterns unfold. She learned to Hear Him as a result of recognizing these patterns. 

Nicole has recently embarked on a new journey of song-writing LDS Christian music. This was  was not a skill she knew she had, but was taught it through a process of revelation. Her songs have played on Christian radio, including Utah's own soft Sunday Sounds. She tries to write and portray the emotions I have had in her own journeying toward Christ, as well as the patterns I see in His Word.

She is extremely passionate about the temple and has really grown to love spending most of her free time there. She says, "It truly is the greatest house of learning. I am passionate about each of us learning to grow into a temple and vessel of the Lord and a house where His presence can dwell. In my chemistry education, I focused my studies on Quantum Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry and throughout my career I gained an understanding that they were all interconnected. And spiritually related that to the connection of both body and spirit and the effects on one to the other. Which has further advanced my interest in our bodies being a temple."

Nicole recently started a YouTube channel titled "Patterns and Sequences" where we discuss the scriptures through a temple lens and tie a little bit of modern science and modern-day prophet revelation to help us all better learn to pattern our lives after our greatest exemplar Jesus Christ and to live after His holy order and the patterns as shown to us in His holy temple.
