Born and raised in New Jersey, Nicole attributes her love of food and wine to her large extended Italian family. She carried this passion to Fordham University—located near the famed-Arthur Avenue—where she became the culture editor for The Fordham Ram, honing her journalism skills and immersing herself in the life, trends and, of course, dining of New York City.

During school and post-graduation, Nicole cultivated her public relations experience working with hospitality and lifestyle clients, including hotels, resorts, interior design, beauty and fashion brands. She joined Teuwen Communications in 2018, and looks to explore the connection between lifestyle and wine and share the stories behind the bottle.

Now calling Brooklyn home and happily exploring its food and drink offerings, Nicole is excited to continue to grow her knowledge of wine and spirits.
