Hi! My name is Nicole Coolman and I am the Early Childhood Teacher at Hinkle Creek Elementary School. I am excited to begin my second year of teaching in the EC Classroom! I graduated from Purdue University (Boiler Up!) with my degree in Early Childhood Education & Early Childhood Special Education. This is my fourth year at Hinkle Creek. I have also worked in our LifeSkills and FAP classrooms. I have been married to my husband, Doug, for 14 years and we have two children. Our son, Evan, is a sixth grader at Noblesville West Middle School and our daughter, Addy, is a third grader at Hinkle Creek. They keep us very busy! We also have a dog, Ozzy, who is a three-year-old labradoodle. In addition to teaching, I love spending time with my family, friends, cooking, baking, and traveling. I look forward to another great year at The Creek!
