Nicole Hahn is an undergraduate student at Boston University, studying Human Physiology and Public Health on her path toward dentistry. However, her story is about more than academics: it’s about self-development, resilience, and purpose.
With over 15 years of diverse dance training, Nicole has grown from a performer into a choreographer and leader of multiple dance teams, founding Noir, a K-dance team that has expanded to Boston and Los Angeles to celebrate Korean culture and creativity. Her artistry has earned recognition on international stages, from being published through Korea’s world-renowned 1 Million Dance Studio to modeling couture hanbok at Los Angeles’ Lotus Festival.
At the same time, Nicole has built a strong foundation in science and service. Recognized on the Dean’s List at Boston University, she has contributed to nephrological research at Boston Medical Center and dedicates herself to serving her community through volunteering at orphanages and homeless shelters. She has collaborated with TEDxTalks and delivered a featured talk at the TEDxBU Salon. Her journey has shown her that true growth comes from embracing every part of who you are.
Now, through her digital platform that has reached over 5 million viewers, Nicole shares her message of strength, self-expression, and possibility. She hopes to inspire young women who may feel pressured to silence parts of themselves to see that they can be both brilliant and creative, disciplined and free, ambitious and authentic.
Nicole represents a generation of women who are unafraid to lead with both grace and power. Her dream is not to achieve personal success, but to create spaces where others can realize that their own dreams, no matter how big, are within reach.
