Nicole Browne

Nicole Browne, Editor-In-Chief

Nicole Browne is a second year staffer, senior Editor-in-Chief of Academy’s Online Newspaper. When not spending her time at crew practice and regattas, Nicole spends her time in numerous clubs at Academy, including Ambassadors and Golden Girls, and volunteers at Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel. As Nicole takes on her leadership roles in the senior class, she is especially excited to get to know the freshman and assist them as they start their first year of highschool. On the very little free time she has due to her involvement in an endless amount of activities, Nicole becomes a queen of redecoration, adding her personal touch to every room she walks into. She can conquer any situation that she is thrown into as long as she has her trusty steed, miniature goldendoodle, and best friend, Bailey, by her side. Fame runs in her family due to her uncle’s great success in the fashion world, designing outfits for many stars from Ansel Elgort to Michelle Obama. At her last meal, Nicole would choose to eat cheesesteak at her grandmother’s house in Pennsylvania while raining and listening to soft music in the background. She is known to be an ambitious and driven by all her peers and teachers around her, leading nobody to doubt her aspirations to attend Northwestern or University of Pennsylvania, using her education to become a doctor.
