"Nicole has the insight and instinct we need on our school board. She understands that preparing our youth includes both excellent classroom instruction and supporting the whole student, each with their own aspirations, talents, and challenges. Nicole will promote a variety of paths forward to inspire and excite each learner--exactly what we need!"

Palo Alto City Council Member, Vicki Veenker

​

​"Nicole's resume, energy, and commitment impressed me when she ran for school board two years ago. All she's done since then is redouble her efforts, taking on multiple leadership roles in our community, and launching another strong campaign. While her legal and business credentials are noteworthy, Nicole stands out as a candidate who's done the work - past and present - directly serving students who need extra support. As a longtime Palo Alto resident, parent, and teacher, with education leadership and advocacy experience at the local, state and national levels, I'm excited to vote for Nicole and to see her join the PAUSD Board of Education."

PAUSD Teacher, David B. Cohen

​​​

"Nicole conveys commitment, compassion, insight and patience —- to get valuable, meaningful and timely PAUSD policy results. Nicole’s children attend PAUSD—she has a vested interest in serving students and families. As a parent, attorney and co-founder of a tech start-up, Nicole also has expertise in managing multi-million dollar budgets. These experiences will make her a strong and effective School Board Member. Nicole is very impressive and brings talent, new energy and perspectives. Her values align with her vision of what re-energized and innovative education should be. I trust her; help her win."
Former PAUSD Board Member, Gail Price​

"A Vote for Nicole is a vote to energize those educational values that characterize the PAUSD since its inception: quality, inclusiveness, and the equal right of all children to fulfill their human potential. This is called quality education for a democracy in the 21st century."
34 year PAUSD Teacher, Administrator, and Former PAUSD Parent, Diane Rolfe

 ​

"Nicole's focus on the health and well-being of all PAUSD students, from the youngest preschool-age child to the teen embarking on their future college and career pathway, will serve this district well. As a parent in the district and through her equity work supporting students, she is uniquely positioned to affect positive change in our school community."

Former PAUSD Board Member, Heidi Emberling

​

"Nicole is an outstanding choice for the Palo Alto School Board. She ran for School Board last go round and has since doubled down in her commitment to improving education and well-being for all youth in the Palo Alto Unified School District at every level. Nicole is a parent of elementary-age children herself, and understands middle and high school students as well,  having left a leadership role in high tech to serve as Executive Director of DreamCatchers, a Palo Alto-based nonprofit focused on ensuring that under-resourced middle schoolers in Palo Alto receive the academic and other vital support they need. She brings strategic thinking, positivity, an open mind and boots on the ground to everything she does. She is walking the walk and is all in!"
