Nicole is fascinated with organized crime, fed by her decade of intelligence community experience and love of systems thinking models. She enjoys zeroing in on essential questions and knowledge gaps, and she does her best to answer them with help from her wonderful teammates. Nicole keeps analytic pieces to a zippy few pages to respect people’s time and thus begs people not to be afraid of the word “analysis”. Nicole has degrees in International Relations, International Conflict Resolution, and Psychology.
