Chokma (Hello), Saholchifoat (my name is) Nicole. My path has always woven together creativity and care for others. My journey began in Healthcare and the Mental Health field, where I managed four psychiatric clinics and learned the deep importance of compassion, resilience, and healing. From there, I followed my lifelong passion for the arts into education, teaching middle and high school art at Latta Public Schools and leading private art classes that encouraged students to explore their own voices through creativity.

Today, I manage an Art Education program that blends my love for teaching with my background in mental health, creating spaces where art becomes both a skill and a form of expression. As I pursue my Art Therapy certification, I’m excited to continue bridging these worlds—helping others discover the healing power of creativity while growing in my own practice.
