Meet Nicole

Nicole is basically a miracle worker. Technically the Director of Systems at GetBurbed, Nicole is essentially the one that makes everything work efficiently internally. She assures the team is utilizing the systems to their fullest capabilities, creating streamlined processes to ensure our transactions run smoothly and our brokers have the support they require. She also works closely with Shannon, assisting brokers in their transactions from beginning to end by processing contracts and helping clients with all of their needs as well.
 
Nicole has an extensive history in systems and project management. After graduating from St. Norbert College in Green Bay with a BA in Communications, she went on to work as an Executive Legal Assistant for the General Counsel of a Financial Services firm and then moved on to be Search Coordinator for Ferguson Partners, a boutique Executive, and Board Recruitment firm.
 
A real renaissance woman, Nicole juggles her family at GetBurbed with her family at home. An Arlington Heights local, you can spot her around town with her husband and two children, at local parks, doing activities with the kids, or sneaking away for a date night at her favorite local spot, Tuscan Wine Market.
