In an attempt to share their stories with the wider public, Nicola subsequently founded New Humans of Australia, a social media project which details the stories of refugees and migrants to Australia.
"I believe stories hold great power to increase both empathy and understanding, and as such I'm delighted to be a part of the Faces of Australia project."
