BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from the sub Alpine town of Jindabyne in the New South Wales Snowy Mountains, Nicole joins an impressive list of athletes to compete at the highest level from the town that has produced more Australian Winter Olympians than any other.
After making her World Cup debut in 2010 as a teenager, Nicole has improved each season with her results, recording an exciting performance of 11th at Deer Valley in 2014. Competing at the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, Nicole finished in 15th place in the first round of women's finals. In 2014-2015, Nicole achieved a new personal best World Cup performance in Calgary, Canada, finishing in tenth place.
