Content Editor
A recent graduate from DePaul University, Nicole is super excited to be part of the Spark Hire team. As a journalist and writer she has contributed to many Chicago sites geared towards music and the people who love it. She spent a majority of her time after graduation frequenting shows throughout Chicago, writing reviews, and interviewing musicians for website content. Although her passion is for music, her writing and reporting background spans across many different industries. Nicole enjoys writing her own content along with editing others’ and also being a bit of a nerd.


Christopher Comella
College Representative
Christopher just graduated from DePaul University with a degree in Political Science, which he never plans to use. Instead, Chris wants to utilize the skills he learned from school and help other college students and graduates find their dream jobs. He considers himself a very culturally aware person, always (trying) to be the first to tell his friends and co-workers what is going on in the world. Chris’ favorite class in high school was creative writing, which turned into a hobby in college. His favorite topics to write about are movie reviews (mostly why they’re terrible) and spreading his experiences around to be used as a teaching tool (specifically finding and keeping jobs).
