Nicole Nidea

Nicole was first introduced to SODA in 2015 and has been devoted to educating others about organ, eye, and tissue donation ever since.

She helped lead the original SODA chapter at Washington University in St. Louis until graduating in 2019 with a BA in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Nicole joined the SODA National Team in 2020 as the volunteer Director of Development, spearheading the organization’s fundraising efforts.

In April 2021, Nicole became SODA’s first full-time employee and now serves as Executive Director. She leads the national team, cultivates partnerships across the donation and transplant community, and ensures students have the resources they need to save and heal lives.

In recognition of her leadership, Nicole was named to The Organ Donation and Transplantation Alliance’s inaugural 40 Under 40 cohort.
