Well, it’s been a little bit since you’ve had some FIERCEness on your screen. We’ve been a bit behind with the planning and executing of our FIERCE gala on November 5, so the bogs have taken a back seat, but we’re back. Nichole just turned 40 in January, so she just made the cut, but it was wonderful to have her in the studio. While she was getting her makeup done, we had a great conversation about self esteem and how we can all use someone to talk to and build ourselves up. When Nichole came back in to see her pictures, she gifted Jodi a box that said “you are amazing” and it was cards with encouraging quotes on them. If we haven't’ mentioned how much Jodi loves her FIERCE ladies before, let us do it now. SHE LOVES THEM!!!
So, without further ado, meet Nichole, a 40 year old in the Industrial Hygiene field and also in the Air Force. Thank you, Nichole, for your service.
