Hello, I'm Nickell, a collaborator with over 30 years of experience in the technology industry, and a resident of San Jose, California, for 35 years. I dedicated my career to partner marketing and alliances, supporting multi-ecosystems. My professional journey has allowed me to work for and establish partnerships with Fortune 500 companies, startups, and non-profits. Recognized for my compassionate change-maker outlook, I carry a passion for innovation that reaches beyond the tech world, involving a genuine love for building partnerships, making connections, and providing service to others. Raised in a small town in an entrepreneurial household, my 82-year-old mom, a successful salon owner for over 60 years, serves as my inspiration. Her dedication, professionalism, customer service, respect for all with empathy, serving on national boards as state inspector, and setting beauty trends fills me with admiration and warmth. A health scare for her on Christmas in 2022 reinforced the importance for me to align my professional expertise with a passion for helping seniors. Upon reflection, during my teen years, I assumed the position of volunteer activities director at a local senior care center in my hometown. The pivotal experience, coupled with my involvement in assisting my mom with administrative duties in her salon, ignited a transformative passion for positively influencing the lives of seniors. Now, many years later, I am being drawn back to my roots, fueling aspirations to contribute significantly to the well-being of seniors and their families. Happily married to my husband Joe of 31 years, a constant rock in my life, and a proud parent of two, and my first year as an empty nester after 28 years brings both nostalgia and excitement. In my free time, you'll find me indulging in my hobbies of volunteering, cooking, making all kinds of soups, event planning, traveling, birding, and exploring new hiking trails with family and friends. Eager to blend my business acumen, love for helping others, and partner expertise, I look forward to exploring how I can contribute through the transformative journey of Oasis Senior Advisors and provide the best personalized concierge experience for families and senior loved ones. Best Regards, Nickell.
