In a world where mental health is often overlooked, Nicole Ferry stands out as a force of empowerment. She’s had a drive to serve for as long as she can remember, Nicole recently shifted her service dedication from law enforcement to mental wellness. With a mission to raise awareness about warning signs and the importance of seeking help, she is dedicated to fostering understanding and action in suicide prevention. Her story serves as a beacon of resilience, offering hope even in the darkest moments.
With an impressive 26-year career in law enforcement, including a role as Special Agent in Charge, Nicole brings a unique perspective to her work. Her experience as a Military Police Officer in the Massachusetts Army National Guard, rising to the rank of Sergeant, has honed her skills in leadership and strategic thinking. State-certified as an Emergency Medical Technician for 24 years, she possesses a deep understanding of public safety and well-being. She holds undergraduate degrees in criminal justice, and her Master's in Public Administration, with a concentration in Homeland Security, further enhanced her service expertise across the board.
Nicole’s commitment to making a difference goes beyond her professional journey. Experiencing the fall out of suicide first-hand, and subsequently battling PTSD and recognizing her trauma, she knows the challenges people face – personally and professionally – and is dedicated to supporting their resilience. As a keynote speaker, where she shares her story from the heart, her unique style blends empathy and empowerment and creates a safe space for individuals to share their struggles and seek help.
Nicole's approach to helping others - her family, she is a mom to 2, her in-service community, as well as those she meets in her day-to-day - is rooted in promoting mental well-being, self-care, and resilience. She takes the time each day to reflect and think about where she is in her healing journey and advocates that we all need to do that in our own way. Just one of the ways she inspires others to overcome obstacles and thrive.
