Developing sustainable tourism grounded in research
As Destination Strategist for Crosscurrent, Nicole draws from her experience in rural tourism development in the Columbia River Gorge, focusing on public transit, accessibility, and collective action. Her work has been awarded the Rising Star award by Travel Oregon. She came to the Portland area after completing her degrees in tourism at the Harz University of Applied Sciences in Germany and Southern Oregon University. Both bachelor’s degrees focused on the development of sustainable tourism. She concluded her studies by writing a thesis about tourism networks and their potential for sustainable tourism development. In 2025, she moved to North Vancouver, British Columbia where she lives with her boyfriend. You can usually find her at the indie theater for special screening, at any of the many local museums or simply on her couch with a good book.
