  Nichole is a circus performer and support person with a pognant personal memoir intertwined with comical reflection and scholary findings. After being diagnosed with ASD as a young adult, Nichole took on the mission of raising awareness and challenging stereotypes through her writing and performing. She has since spoken at several Australian and International Conferences and holds a Graduate Certificate in Autism Studies from the University of Wollongong, NSW. She is currently studying her Certificate IV in Education Support whilst teaching circus skills to autistic children and volunteers at QAGOMA 1 day a week to assist in making the workplace more accessible. She is also a Girl Guide Leader working with a diverse range of children. Nichole’s dream is to work with children and adults living with autism in educational and performing arts settings. Can provide list of previous speaking engagements as required.
