She is one of the greatest persons I have had the pleasure to work with: first, she is a fantastic project manager, amazingly efficient and focused, keeping track of every task from multiple team members and always ensuring that things go smoothly as planned. Second, she really dug deep into the book, contributing some of the best, actionable feedback I have had, including on some of the most complex Machine Learning topics. Last but not least, she is always cheerful and encouraging."- Aurélien Géron, Author of "Hands-on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow""Nicole was a joy to work with when I was working through my book Machine Learning Pocket Reference. I've worked with other editors and I would easily put Nicole at the top. Not only does she know her stuff, she knows how to help others get stuff done. All this without micromanaging!"- Matt Harrison, Python & Data Science Corporate Trainer, Consultant, Advisor, Author"I managed Nicole for over 2 years at O’Reilly Media. As an editor in O’Reilly’s big data group, she hit the ground running in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, quickly picking up new skills and building on her existing strengths. She has a keen editorial eye and improves every project she touches. She is unfazed by new initiatives, quickly changing business goals, tight deadlines, and shifting priorities. She is a joy to manage because she is self-directed, a problem solver, and a very clear communicator. I highly recommend Nicole as a terrific editor and a wonderful colleague."- Marie Beaugureau, Senior Technical Writer, Google
