ABOUT nicole
Nicole Winner is an actress based in Los Angeles, CA. She developed her passion for acting when she was a young child, but didn’t begin pursuing the craft professionally until after she raised her two children.
Prior to acting, she received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Wildlife Biology from UC Davis and then explored a variety of career choices. She worked as a school teacher, a certified nursing assistant, an emergency medical technician and a realtor. She produced and directed radio and television commercials at a crisis management and campaign management firm, and she owned and ran her own insurance brokerage. Eventually, she settled into a career as a Certified Financial Planner because it allowed her to remain close to home where she could better juggle her life as a single mother and career woman.
While she was a single mother and running her insurance brokerage, Nicole’s need to participate in creative endeavors lead her to write a musical. A Tony Award winning producer took interest in that musical and put together a table read of the musical in New York. At the time, further pursuing the course of the musical proved to be impossible due to Nicole’s responsibilities at home.
Throughout it all, she craved the opportunity to professionally explore her undying passion for acting.
Today, Nicole is remarried, an empty nester, and enjoying each day as she spends them actively engaged in acting, improv and writing.
