Meet Nicole Hoffman

By: Jessica Reynolds

I would like to introduce you to, Nicole Hoffman. She is the Director of Service Learning and Study Abroad in the McMaster School. She also teaches FYE, GEN 201, and GEN 301 classes. She has been a faculty member at Defiance College since March 2021. She has always wanted to be a teacher, and her time here at Defiance College has led her to new opportunities in her career.

Nicole attended Northern Michigan in Spanish and International Studies for her undergrad. Then she went to Siena Heights University for her Masters. Nicole loves being at Defiance College because she gets to interact with students. 

To get to know Professor Hoffman more personally, I asked her some questions. When asked the question “what is your favorite holiday and why”, Nichole answered, “Thanksgiving because I get to see family and the Detroit Lions play that day.” Nicole Hoffman is a Detroit sports fan because she grew up a fan of them. She likes the Detroit Lions and the Detroit Tigers. Professor Hoffman’s biggest fear is drowning. If money was not an issue for Nicole, she would travel the world. Nicole Hoffman has traveled to many places in her life, but her favorite is Peru because she has a connection with it.

She can be located in the McMasters Office in the library.
