Nicole Tursich
Nicole works from home as a full-time nanny and does some freelance writing on the side. She has an English degree from the University of St. Thomas and married her high school sweetheart, Joe.
Before doing the whole mom thing, Nicole served in the Minnesota Reading Corps for 2 years as a literacy tutor. She then worked as a secretary for her local church before getting pregnant with her first daughter and decided to work from home. She and her family love to travel and have ventured near and far from Wisconsin to the Philippines. Obviously, the Twin Cities is the place to be. She and her husband live in Hopkins with their two daughters.
Nicole has been practicing karate off and on since she was 13 and has her first degree black belt. She is currently training for her second degree black belt and competes in tournaments around the Twin Cities. When she’s not doing karate, she and her husband enjoy ordering pizza and watching NetFlix--it’s all about balance. Life. Motherhood. Everything.
