Nicole founded and led her YAF chapter after attending YAF’s 2022 National Conservative Student Conference. As an activist on campus, she recorded a viral video exposing a man pretending to be a woman going into the women’s restroom during a “Pride Party” hosted by a liberal group on campus. She was reported to the student conduct office for “harassment” when she invited members of the Planned Parenthood Generation Action club to her YAF chapter’s lecture featuring pro-life speaker Abby Johnson. Her chapter also hosted Ian Haworth and participated in activism projects, including YAF’s Pro-Life Timeline and the 9/11: Never Forget Project.
