Nicole Chan, Board of Directors

Nicole has worked in the early education field for over 20 years, as an educator and administrator, in both corporate and non-profit organizations.

Nicole was raised in Newton and spent summers at her family's lake house on the south shore. As a child she spent her days swimming, boating, frog and bug exploring, and generally being outside from dawn to dusk. Nature was such an integral part of Nicole’s childhood, she is thrilled to be a part of an organization that values the role of nature in a child’s life.

Nicole’s background is in early childhood and art. She has worked in the early education field for over 20 years as an educator and administrator, in corporate and non-profit organizations.

Nicole believes the experiences BOPN provides are invaluable to a child’s growth and mental health, particularly in the current day and age.

She enjoys supporting BOPN’s mission to expand access to nature education in the greater Boston area.

In her spare time Nicole enjoys traveling with her family, reading and creating art, hiking with her two dogs, and spending lazy days at the beach!
