Born and raised in Jackson, Michigan, Nichole Baker has found her true passion in cancer diagnostics as a Pathologist’s Assistant. A professional anatomist, Nichole lives with two humans and a SCOBY (think: combo of yeast and bacteria people often use to make Kombucha) they consider their 4th roommate.
