Nikole Zivalich, commonly known as NikoleZ, is a California native, born and raised in SoCal. She briefly lived in Boise, Idaho where she fell into a nearly frozen radioactive lake, making her forever incapable of tolerating the cold. During the winter months it will be rare to find her without a pair of gloves or mittens in her purse. Nikole is now 24 years young. She is a Virgo, vegetarian, who loves her dog Molly, a toy poodle.

She also loathes writing about herself in the third person and isn't nearly as big a narcissist as she likes to pretend so this was painful for her to write.

Nikole currently works for G4 as a games editor and producer. The All-New Game Show, the show she co-hosts and produces, is in its 5th season. Video games and stuff.
