Summary

My Name is Nicole, I'm a wife and Mom of 3. I have been self-employed for over 11 years with a children's clothing company. Where I was sewing and doing product production myself. I also had employees I trained and worked with. When a change was needed last year I started a photography business which is just a part-time venture right now. I have also managed a horse barn for 4 years, I farm sit for a couple who has gardens, horses, chickens, etc. I love gardening and know lots in the area but would really love to work in a greenhouse to learn even more.

I'm a hard worker, positive, reliable, caring, creative and self-motivated. I think I would make a good fit for the Sipkens Nursery team.
