About

Compelling stories are everywhere.

I spent six years in television news as an anchor and reporter at KHQ. It's where I learned to interview people, find the story inside a busy day, and deliver it clearly on deadline.

Eventually I wanted more time with the people I was meeting. So I founded UNCOVERED, an independent documentary platform about vulnerability, resilience, shame, connection — the experiences that make us human. I've produced around eighteen short films there, most between 18 and 34 minutes, handling everything from finding the story to the final edit.

Through Nichole Mischke Media I make films, photographs and branded stories for organizations, including nonprofits like the Childhood Cancer Coalition, Honor Flight and Failsafe for Life. Today I'm Event Manager at Gonzaga Prep, where I also produce student-centered documentary stories that connect our community with the school's mission.

"Sometimes the most extraordinary stories belong to ordinary people."

My job is to put people at ease, notice the heart of what they're telling me, and shape it with care — so it feels true to them and meaningful to whoever's watching. I like curiosity, a good laugh, and taking thoughtful creative risks.
