"Nicole's dedication to process and collaboration rings true in how she carries out every phase of a project. In our work to implement a component of the HealthADAPT project with the Central Coast, we faced several challenges such as the remoteness of communities, an acknowledgement that we needed to decolonize our engagement approach, and trying to carry out this work in the midst of the global pandemic. Nicole's flexibility and relationship building ensured that we worked directly with communities, while respecting safety protocols, resulting in an informed and useful piece of work that Vancouver Coastal Health could build on."
"Nicole has a great ability to synthesize large amounts of complex information quickly. She grasps what is important and understands the nuance of the subject material and language. I found this particularly useful when dealing with sensitive matters like Indigenous self-determination. She is experienced, thoughtful, and works independently. These are the qualities I appreciate and why I will continue to collaborate with her on my projects in the future."
“Having worked with Nicole for several years, I can say with some authority that she is very committed and brings a sense of optimism to challenging work. While at Pisces RPM, Nicole helped us develop our Indigenous Collaboration Policy which we are very pleased with. Her authentic and transparent approach is a great foundation for an excellent working relationship.”
“Nicole works collaboratively with project teams, using her easygoing manner and people skills to facilitate discussions with people from diverse backgrounds and worldviews. She responds confidently and effectively to challenges. Her organizational abilities and clear and timely communications helped keep our project on track. Nicole’s energy, passion and authenticity are inspiring to all who work with her. I recommend her highly.”
"It was a pleasure to work with Nikki on the preparation of a community capacity toolkit for climate change-related funding for First Nations. Nikki was responsive, thorough, thoughtful, and incredibly well-organized throughout the process. She carried the project forward with grace, adapting to the needs of the client and to our process, and she produced a fantastic product. We will be excited to work with her again!"
