A Bit About Me

Born in Santa Rosa, California, the youngest of three, Nicolette grew up in a musical household — out-of-tune flutes, banging drums, and her own clarinet were the soundtrack of her childhood. Alongside music, she competed in horseback riding with her mother, and those two loves ruled her early years.

Her passion for theatre ignited when she was cast in West Side Story in high school. After studying at Cal State Fullerton and Cal State Chico, Nicolette launched her professional career in California, appearing in Measure for Measure, The Rover, and the acclaimed immersive show The San Francisco Speakeasy. She also led the independent film What Lies West, now available on Amazon, Apple TV, and iTunes.
