My name is Nicole Delaney and I am a senior Communications major at the University of Rhode Island. I like to think of myself as a very optimistic and driven person. I believe a positive and driven attitude will lead me to success in life and treating others equally and with respect along the way is an important factor for me. In my free time I love being outside, whether it is hiking, walking, or running. I have found that having an active dog has lead me to become a much more active and happy person. I rescued my dog in Georgia when she was eight weeks old and I have found that my life has completely changed since adopting her- some people might find that weird, but fellow dog people get it!
