RIGHTLY DIVIDING

“Living the Dream without regrets.”

 

Nicole Valle was born and raised in Philadelphia Pa.   She attended Lowell Elementary and Frankford High School.  After High School graduation she pursued higher education and was accepted to Cheyney University.  Nicole attended Cheyney University for two years majoring in biology, and then transferred to Temple University to complete her nursing degree. Months later she met a nurse, who was the Director of Star Institute, who convinced her to major in nephrology and she graduated a year later with honors and as the head of her class. Nicole was hired at one of the top nephrology companies and has been in the field for 25 years.

​

From a child, Nicole participated in the Arts i.e. acting, modeling, beauty pageant competitions, even competitive school based activities such as cheerleading and marching bands. As a teen she wanted to work before she reached the legal age to acquire working papers, so she began to baby-sit and to sell newspapers. To add, she also inquired about home based businesses such as Avon and selling Tupperware products.  As a young teen she was ambitious and industrious exploring various types of business opportunities to promote her independence.

Nicole was an achiever from her youth, with innate ability to advance as an entrepreneur. As an adult she owned beauty salons, and assisted living facilities. She also started her own company- Sunrise Daycare and Learning center- which is currently known as Sunrise Productions, all in the effort to find her niche.

 

As years progressed Nicole began to write plays. She wrote her first play in year 2000.  The title of the play was Coming to America.  She gathered friends and family for the premiere.  Nicole launched a big production of the play in Philadelphia.  Although the turnout was not as she had expected the outcome was positive.

​

She wrote her second play in 2006 entitled The Living Dream; the producer herself gave a casting call at the YMCA in Delaware in 2007.  She had an awesome turn out, and she picked a cast of thirty teens and held rehearsals every Sunday at the club.  Nicole fully understood that in order to command success from the team, she as the team leader had to first set the standard and be willing to promote success through diligence and working smart.  Therefore, Nicole created her own set designs, she did her own marketing and Public relations work, and she managed thirty teens independently.  Through much sacrifice while yet maintaining a successful nursing career, all of Nicole’s hard work did pay off.  She pulled off her first successful show at the Grand Opera house; she sold out the venue.

​

Nicole’s passion for the Arts and film productions motivated her to return to school.  She obtained a degree in film Producing and Directing from the Art Institute in Philadelphia, PA.  In her junior year of college (1 year prior to graduation) Nicole produced a teen talk show entitled No Sugar.  Her aim is to use the teen talk show platform as a means to encourage healthy dialogue between teens that will encourage them to confront the issues they face daily in a positive manner but more importantly to celebrate the accomplishments they make.

​

Nicole is a youth advocate and a humanitarian; she enjoys working with teens and helping them to achieve their goals and dreams.  By using her life as an example, Nicole does emphasize that her ultimate goal is to encourage teens to be the best YOU that they can be, and to inspire them to let nothing stand in the way of their dreams.  As a youth advocate Nicole strives to empower and reinforce positive thinking in our “at-risk” youth.  Through the production and launch of Philly Teens Talk Show- No Sugar, Nicole reveals that her innermost desire is to see teens receive the recognition they deserve.
