Meet Nichelle

Nichelle is an educator, attorney, social entrepreneur, and neurodiversity/disability advocate with over 10 years of experience in removing barriers that impede individuals of all ages from reaching their unique potential and living healthy and fulfilling lives. Having been formally trained in the fields of education, law and policy coupled with years of experience within the field of public health, her diverse background allows for a unique blend of skills that lend themselves to innovatively crafting solutions that respect and honor neurodiverse populations. She often credits her deep passion for these issues to having personally battled undiagnosed I-ADHD for most of her life. Like 40-60% of individuals who share her diagnosis, anxiety has also been a constant. Empowered by her faith, she continues to persevere in hopes of inspiring and unlocking the potential of others who share similar plights.

"Everything I hated most about myself was connected to a disorder I didn't know I had. Interestingly enough, everything I have since come to love about my calling has been intrinsically linked to the same." - Nichelle N. Cook
