Nicola runs an organization battling far right extremism and racism, which works with administration, politics, and civil society in the state of Bavaria. In her spare time, she gives tours as an authorized guide at the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. Her professional interest in the darker aspects of Munich’s 20th century history, and its echoes in the present, has also led her to give city walking tours themed on the Third Reich. She has years of experience doing not only this, but also showing visitors the lighter side of Munich’s rich history and culture. Nicola is especially interested in how the past is reflected in Munich's present urban environment and official memorial culture, and how this has changed over time.

A Munich native, Nicola was bitten by the travel bug years ago. She has visited many different countries, and lived in Australia, before returning to her beloved hometown. Her M.A. degree in Intercultural Communications has added to her passion for introducing Munich to visitors from all over the world.
