2024 Exceptional Service Award Recipient

Assistant Executive Director
May Center School for Autism and Developmental Disabilities
Randolph, Massachusetts
 




Nomination:

Nicole has dedicated 14 years of exemplary service to May Institute in several different capacities. Our program continues to benefit from her extensive educational background and the invaluable, hands-on experience she has gained through the various roles she has held during her time with us. Through the years, Nicole has led by example and excelled in every role she has held.

A member of the first Teacher Certificate Cohort at Bridgewater State University, Nicole began her career at the May Center School in Randolph as a Teaching Assistant prior to becoming a Teacher. From there, she became Educational Administrator, then Director of Education. In 2020, she was named Assistant Executive Director.

Nicole faces the most complex and challenging problems with a positive attitude and a focus on solutions. When she was promoted to Director of Education during the pandemic, her leadership was critical to designing online learning and facilitating the return to on-campus instruction.

As Assistant Executive Director, she has led the program through several significant changes in structure and composition. Her supervisors and colleagues count on Nicole to help solve large and complex problems and rely on her to provide candid feedback and recommendations for creative and practical solutions.

She truly represents the mission and values of May Institute through her commitment to compassionate, evidence-based practices. Nicole is a fantastic asset to May Institute and is very deserving of this award.
