Meet the Members Mondays- Nicole

Hi! My name is Nicole and my husband Romon is an MS2 Air Force. We moved to the DC area last year from Atlanta, Ga., but I’m originally from Pennsylvania (the Poconos), and Romon from Florida. Although we’ve been together since college (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University), we just recently got married. When I’m not home hanging out, I’m working as an airline pilot for ExpressJet Airlines (we’re the regional jets that fly for Delta, United, and American). I’ve seen most of the United States, plus a few other countries, thanks to my job, and I imagine I’ll get to see so much more now being a military spouse. I’ve been flying for ExpressJet for almost 8 years, and before that I was a flight instructor (still am). This year will be spent “learning” all of the ins and outs of the military (since I wasn’t a “dependent” up until getting married, I neglected to learn a lot about the military, pay, etc.). I will be moving to San Antonio in the beginning of 2014 to accompany my husband on most of his rotations, before coming back to DC in October.

In my spare time, I enjoy kickboxing and any other form of working out, eating, cooking, traveling, and meeting new people. I am the Adult Social chair this year, along with my co-chair Minji Park. We’ve already had some awesome events to date, and look forward to seeing everyone at future events! Since joining the SSC over a year ago, I’ve made some amazing friends, learned a lot of new things, and gotten to see many new places in the DC area.
