We want to praise Nicole for her dedication to Manna House and for her completion of the PRS training. Peer Recovery Specialist (PRS) Nicole joined the Manna House family in March 2026, bringing over 25 years of work experience including as a life coach, career counselor, group facilitator, and leadership trainer in federal government and academic sectors. As a PRS, Nicole draws on these experiences and her own recovery journey to help Manna residents reach their potential and thrive in sobriety. To optimize their success, she prioritizes tailored one-on-one discussions regarding goal-setting, time management, wellness, and decision-making, and connects them with employment, mental health, and other recovery resources.

"I am grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside these young men as they grow and experience first-hand the gifts of sobriety. It is a privilege to witness them unlock individual strengths, overcome challenges, gain self-esteem, and embrace newfound joys."

~Nicole
