During her Multi-disciplinary Action Project (MAP), Nikole worked as an organizational consultant at CH2MHill, a multi-billion dollar engineering construction firm. Nikole interned at Phillips Petroleum Company during the summer of 2001 where she performed marketing and competitive analyses for emerging business opportunities, developed a communication strategy for interacting with community groups and regulatory agencies, and investigated market incentives.
