Nicole Restani Kolbeck

Summer Intern, Development, Energy and Environment Program

Fueled by her curiosity for change for the better, Nicole enrolled in Bard’s MBA in Sustainability. Her career pivot journey began with her desire to influence large businesses and organizations and, in turn, their customers to be active members in building a more symbiotic relationship with our planet. Stemming from a professional background spanning the performing arts, education, real estate, and entrepreneurship, she plans to utilize her creative and sales skills to make sustainability strategies come to life. Nicole’s love for people, culture, and our world’s many wonders have been shaped by her past world travels and are most currently explored via sailboat.

She envisions a future world designed to reflect nature’s processes, advanced by smart design and innovation, and equally enjoyed by all its inhabitants.
