Born and raised in Calgary, AB, Niccole attended the University of Calgary where she completed a BSc in Biological Sciences with a minor in Chemistry (2004) and an MSc in Medical Science (2007). Her thesis work involved studying the biomechanics of medial collateral ligament healing where she developed a porcine model and performed a breed comparison. Currently, she is working as the Project Manager for the CIHR-Skeletal Regenerative Medicine Team. In addition, Niccole is assisting Dr. John Matyas in the laboratory, primarily with his animal studies, and is developing an in vitro murine model to study fracture healing. Recently, she is working part-time as the Program Coordinator for the University of Calgary's Joint Transplantation Program. While she is not managing or in the lab, she spends her time teaching children educational programs at the Calgary Zoo and coaches swimming. Besides working, Niccole finds time for other activities, especially those that involve the outdoors.
