Nicole received her Ph.D. from California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in biology specializing in neurodevelopment and neurodegenerative disorders. As the founder of Awesome Neuroscience, she is dedicated to translating the most promising neuroscience research and positive psychology for individuals to live their best life. Her approach centers on guiding individuals to mindfully develop greater self-awareness and compassion, while teaching them positive life practices. She leads a new generation of meditation teachers, fusing neuroscience with the ancient art of meditation to help ground people to embody their neuroindividual essence. Nicole has researched neurodiversity, including autism, giftedness, and twice-exceptionality (2e) for over two decades and is passionate about sharing her knowledge and approach to neurodiversity. Being 2e herself, she understands the experience from the inside out.
Nicole is a professor at Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education. She has authored numerous academic papers on intelligence, autism, brain evolution, neuroanatomy, neuroinflammation, brain development, and behavior. She is a regular contributor to 2e Newsletter, Variations Magazine, GHF Dialogue, SENG Newsletter, Gifted Unlimited, and Great Potential Press.
As a Milton and Rosalind Chang Career Exploration Prize recipient from Caltech, Nicole founded a novel non-profit, Beyond the Cell, a transformative program to rehabilitate incarcerated women through teaching guided meditation, neuroscience, literature, and expressive writing to cultivate positive neural, mental, and behavioral patterns for healing. Nicole believes all beings have the ability to rewire their minds for positive neural plasticity to manifest a meaningful life. She is a committee member for PEN Los Angeles and supports PEN's mission of protecting free speech. She works and serves the community in the hope that we can each learn to live the life we dream.
