Originally from Costa Rica and now calling Calgary home, Nicole is an Alberta-certified Early Childhood Educator with two years of experience working with children, and seven years in customer service before that. She is fully bilingual in English and Spanish, which she loves being able to offer families who are more comfortable in Spanish.
What she loves most about this work is watching kids figure out who they are, and getting to be part of that. She is warm, consistent, and honest with them, which is usually why they trust her quickly. Always bringing a smile and a positive attitude, Nicole is excited to be part of the TOPP Kids family as the Active Play Coordinator. She brings energy, joy, and a welcoming spirit to the role, always ready to make children and families feel welcome and excited to be part of the community. She also brings a good dose of Costa Rican pura vida spirit (pure life, positive vibes) to her work, and to most things. Outside of work she is happiest outdoors, usually with friends, family, or her dog Pineapple, who is a very good girl and knows it.
