Nicole Honanie (she, her, hers)
Nicole Honanie is a member of the Hopi Tribe. She comes from village of Kykotsmovi and is honwungwa (bear clan). Nicole grew up on the Hopi Reservation and later moved to Flagstaff, AZ to challenge herself with education. Doing so she obtained two associate degrees from Coconino Community College before earning her bachelor’s degree from Northern Arizona University in Business Management and a certificate in Human Resources. Her nomination for the Leading for Change came from the Hopi Foundation who was a former employer when beginning the LFC program. Since then, Nicole has accepted a new position as the Executive Operations Manager for Coconino County. Although her desires were to serve her Hopi community after earning her degree, she is still able to do so in her new role in a larger capacity. She is excited to see where all the new adventures take her on her future career path.
