Nicola's first job was providing email support for the world's first WSYWIG html editor. Not long after, Java came into existence and she spent many years programming for many of Melbourne's internet startups. Now, still deeply scarred from her time trying to help the enthusiastic but bewildered general public, she does what she can to help people educate themselves. This comes in the form of writing documentation for FastMail and Cyrus IMAPd mail server.

When not in front of the computer, Nicola is busy being Wonder Woman mum to her two young kids: Supergirl and Hulk, ably assisted by her Superman husband. A family who fights evil together, stays together.

She keeps fit by running from zombies, by riding her bike and practicing Tai Chi.
