1st Mate
CHEF
Nicole’s 'happy place' is wherever great food meets great company. With a
decade of experience in the hospitality industry, including managing a high-
end catering company, she brings a level of professional service to AURORA that is rare to find. A graduate of the prestigious Ashburton
Cookery School, Nicole specializes in creating vibrant, fresh, and soulful
dishes inspired by her travels across the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.
Sailing since childhood, she mastered the art of 'galley gourmet' early on,
becoming the go-to chef for family and friends. Today, she combines her
management skills with her culinary talent to offer guests a five-star dining
experience. For Nicole, every meal is an opportunity to bring people together
and celebrate the beauty of the islands.
