Prior to joining the College, Nicole practiced law as a civil litigator at a national, full-service law firm appearing at all levels of court as well as arbitration and mediation. Nicole brings over a decade of experience as a faculty member and faculty leadership in post-secondary education with expertise in educating students enrolled in professionally accredited programs. Nicole has worked with other health regulators as well as a non-health regulator in professional regulation, and accredited post-secondary education for paralegals. Nicole was appointed and re-appointed for several terms as an Adjudicator with a Federal tribunal adjudicating medical appeals to determine eligibility for the Canada Pension Plan. Finally, Nicole volunteered as a board member on the Lakeridge Hospital Board, a multi-site hospital serving the Durham Region, for two consecutive terms.

As Registrar & CEO of the College, Nicole is committed to providing effective leadership to serve the College’s mandate to protect the public. Nicole has prioritized the College’s obligations to Truth and Reconciliation as well as its commitment to equity, diversity and inclusivity by, among other initiatives, meeting with and hearing directly from the Chiefs of Ontario as to what footcare model will best serve the needs of First Nations communities. Nicole supports Council’s stated commitment as expressed in the College’s Strategic Plan, moving towards the Podiatry Model of footcare in the province with the support of the Chiefs of Ontario.

Nicole recognizes the critically important role of Chiropodists and Podiatrists in contributing to the overall health and wellness of Ontarians. Importantly, the foot care provided by registrants of the College has profound implications for lowering the rates of lower limb amputations, and under Nicole’s leadership, the College will continue to work with registrants through quality assurance initiatives to assist registrants in providing the best care to their patients.
