As the Program Coordinator at UWM Lubar Entrepreneurship Center (LEC), Nicole continues to connect students and faculty to entrepreneurial and design thinking principles. She designs and delivers interactive Pop Ups throughout campus. She also curates the experiences in the UWM Student Startup Challenge so that student entrepreneurs accomplish their dreams. The team at LEC creates a space to be collaborative, open-minded, and inspired. We believe all students should be equipped with problem solving skills, the ability to collaborate and think creatively and innovatively.
