About Me!

PROFESSIONAL: My name is Nicole Howell Golden. I am a 1991 graduate of Cherryville High School. I graduated from Gaston College in 1994 with an Associate Degree of Applied Science in Medical Assisting. Following graduation, I continued my studies at Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing in Charlotte, where I obtained my nursing diploma for Registered Nurse licensure in 1997. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Winston-Salem State University. Finally, I completed my Master of Science at East Carolina University, focusing on Nursing Education in 2010. I have nursing experience in medical services, occupational health, women and children services, palliative care, and occupational health. I have also been involved in staff development and nursing education with a local hospital for 3 years and served as adjunct faculty at both Gardner-Webb University and Isothermal Community College's Foothills Nursing Consortium. I began with Cherryville High School as a Health Science Teacher in January of 2013.

I have completed my required courses for my NC Teaching Certification.

PERSONAL: I have been married to my husband, Wes, since 1997. We have two children Charlcie Golden Morgan and Ford Golden. Charlcie is married to her husband Buddy and they have two fur babies (Miller and Captain) and Ford is a student at the University of Georgia (GO DAWGS!). Both of my children are graduates of Cherryville High School!

I am a huge GEORGIA fan. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my two boxers, Jasper and Athens, being on the lake, binging Netflix, cooking, and spending time with family.
