Nichole Neumann
Nichole earned her B.A. in finance with a minor in accounting from Western Washington University (WWU) in 2007. Following graduation, she made the decision to continue her education and return to Western to complete her accelerated master's in business administration degree in 2009.
She joined the Center for Economic Vitality (CEV) originally in 2009 as an M.B.A. student. During that time she worked as an intern and a student researcher for the small business development class.
Nichole has worked as a finance and benefits intern for a newspaper, in desktop management of electronic medical records and as a preschool teacher for an independently owned daycare.
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Nichole could never imagine living anywhere else. Throughout school she could never find that one thing she knew she would want to do for the rest of her life. While the answer to that may always change, her determination and desire to help others with the knowledge she has gained is what has driven Nichole to the CEV.
Aside from work, Nichole enjoys traveling (especially those unplanned road trips), learning how to cook and bake new things and craft projects.
