After growing up near China Lake Naval Weapons Center in the middle of the Mojave Desert, Niceole

escaped to the bright lights of Los Angeles. While studying acting at the American Academy of Dramatic

Arts, she realized her true love was writing stories, not playing them out. She worked as a police

dispatcher to pay her way through USC undergrad and then completed the Master of Professional

Writing program, also at USC. An alum of the CBS Writers Mentoring Program, NBC's Writers on the

Verge, and the WGAW Showrunner Training Program, Niceole has written on “Ironside,” “Allegiance,”

“The Mysteries of Laura,” “Shades of Blue,” "Cloak & Dagger," “Fate: the Winx Saga,” “S.W.A.T,” and

“Graymail.” She also co-wrote a feature, "The Banker," with former “Allegiance” showrunner and

director George Nolfi, available on AppleTV+, and is now writing “Spark,” a film inspired by the life of

Claudette Colvin. Niceole is currently a co-executive producer on “Empire of Mali,” which will air on

Netflix, and has several TV and feature projects in development. Her first book, “The Writers’ Room

Survival Guide,” will be released in October of this year.
