Board VP, representing Madison Street Medicine
I’m Nicole Fay (she/her) and my journey revolves around wearing many hats – from spearheading initiatives as the Executive Co-Director and Volunteer Coordinator at Madison Street Medicine to relishing in the role of proud pet parent to Beef the cat and Luna the dog.
By day, I’m wholly devoted to ensuring that underserved communities receive the healthcare they rightfully deserve. Yet, when the sun sets, I find myself immersed in the love and laughter that Beef and Luna bring into my life. Their individual quirks and boundless energy never fail to brighten my days, whether we’re basking in the sun’s warmth or embarking on outdoor escapades.
