What's going on with my career
Hi I'm Nicole, writer and host of Nicstalgia!!! I explore pop culture, media, and technology's impact on identity. I'm compiling my essays into a book and also currently writing a paper on AI's impact on fashion, media, and consumer culture.

TL;DR:
I'm looking for a full-time, senior role with a People & Culture Programs focus. This can look like Learning & Development, Training, Internal Communications, Employee Experience, or Knowledge & Content Management. I'm also open to roles in Organizational Effectiveness, Process Improvement, Project Management, CRM, and Retail Operations.

This is a story about a girl named Lucky

šŸ“² 2020: Left fashion to pursue my own path consulting small businesses on people & culture initiatives. My last day in corporate was March 6, 2020, so I pivoted to digital transformation & brand strategy REAL fast.
šŸ‘©šŸ»ā€šŸ’» 2022: Launched my pop culture podcast called Nicstalgia, migrated my newsletter to Substack, served as a founding contributor to Boys Club, and worked in marketing for Mythos Studios, a web3 entertainment startup.

šŸŖ„ 2024: Taught super fun fitness classes. Got a new full-time job !!!!!! (Manifesting)

What I'm most proud of having done
ā€¢ Shaping company culture and acting as a role model for hundreds of employees
ā€¢ Digitizing analog documents and codifying tacit knowledge into tangible learning materials
ā€¢ Designing complex spreadsheets, templates, tools, presentations, and training collateral from scratch
ā€¢ Driving digital innovation efforts and having my work result in the creation of a new digitally-native department
ā€¢ Continuously challenging, dismantling, and reconstructing my belief system around work to be a better leader and person!!!

How I work
According to this test, I'm primarily a Torrent. I'm innovative, unconventional, creative, and curious in the pursuit of knowledge. I challenge the status quo rather than maintain it and LOVE collaborating with instigators who believe in the value and impact of our disruptive ideas.

Secondarily, I'm a Diplomat. I'm obsessed with talent development and giving people the tools, knowledge, and support they need in order to do their best work. I'm extremely purpose-driven and deeply commit to the 'why' behind what I do. Ultimately, I'm driven to bring people together and make them feel like a part of something. My personal values are enthusiasm, expression, connection, and curiosity.

What I'm looking for
Every company calls it something different, but I'm looking for a full-time, senior role with a People & Culture Programs focus. This can look like Learning & Development, Training, Internal Communications, Employee Experience, or Knowledge & Content Management. I'm also open to roles in Organizational Effectiveness, Process Improvement, Project Management, CRM, and Retail Operations. Not interested in growth marketing or social media management.

Iā€™m looking for stability and the potential for longevity in a role where I can take projects and run with them!!! I'm excited to shape company culture and work with a team toward a shared, progressive goal. I'd be a great fit at a culture-forward company that trusts its employees to do their jobs and values autonomy, innovation, and collectivity. I am NOT a fan of bureaucracy, micromanagement, unfounded formalities, and hearing, "This is the way we've always done it."
