She has furthered her studies and gained extensive experience in paediatrics, maternal health, and the biochemical imbalances associated with Autism and ADHD. Her passion for research is evident, with a particular interest in neurodisabilities, epigenetics, the gut microbiome, and improving pregnancy outcomes for both mother and child.
When she’s not at work, Nicole can often be found enjoying the Gold Coast’s natural beauty, whether she’s cruising along the coastline on her motorbike, skateboard, or surfboard, or simply soaking up the sunshine.
