Nicole is a Virtual Assistant from Germany, she has been successfully running her own VA Business since 2018. She has a degree in Biology (B.Sc.) but found that working in a lab was dependent on her location, this is not what she wanted for herself. So she decided to make a change!

After some preparation, she decided to come to Bali for a solo travel adventure. Nicole made some enriching connections and was really intrigued by the Digital Nomad way of life. Nicole started thinking that her possibilities of working online, and finally came across Virtual Assistance, 3 months later she started up her business alongside her full-time job. Instagram Marketing is her Niche! But now she focuses on Instagram Content and E-mail marketing for Personal Brands only. 

Nicole and Tarek met in 2019. Tarek was fascinated by how much she loved the mission of Nomads Giving Back!. Also, she was very connected with the local community in Bali and she immersed herself in the Culture of Indonesia and Bali. Now with 3 years of experience as a VA Nicole is offering support to other aspiring Virtual Assistants and with Nomads Giving Back!, sharing her vast experience and knowledge.
