Before finishing university with a first class degree in Media and Event Management, she travelled the world, worked as an Event Manager on tour with bands, and was a tea lady in a tearoom, perfecting the English scone. Once she had a job interview with the singer Adele. She didn’t get it, (whatever) but she’s not bitter.

Nicky’s background is in journalism where she’s spent the past seven years writing about everything from how to remove rotten toenails to high-octane sex, and all that’s in-between for publications like Cosmopolitan, Stylist, Men’s Health and MSN. Since turning her hand to social media she’s been included in the Huffington Post’s 50 Funniest Women on Twitter, constructed the ‘perfect’ tweet, had her joke nicked by Stephen Fry and been nominated for several social media awards. Most days you can find her on Twitter at @Peachesanscream. She likes to make things awkward.
