About

Hello, I am Nicole Rios. A native New Yorker who enjoys drawing and playing puzzles like Tetris, Sudoku and Chess when I’m not watching the Mets. As a former student-athlete health has always been apart of my routine and thankfully so; being that I had to undergo prolonged medical treatment which required me to take time off. Since my birth in September of 1993 I struggled with my platelets and iron counts during a time where little was known about this chronic blood disorder that would later be recognized as ITP. Thankfully so, my mother and father kept up with my hematologist's appointments and amazing work has been done by those at New York Presbyterian Hospital, in part from my blood (MYH9 gene mutation) samples that were tested on lab mice. Thankfully, medicine is finally available and while my health is manageable, it is precisely that. A mandatory of at least five doctors’ appointments per year. I’m happy to report my platelets and iron levels are at an all time high now (knocks on wood!) I have been working in accounting since 2019; beginning in payroll. My daily routine has consisted of processing billing, cash postings, bank and credit card reconciliations, financial recoupment, credit memos, expense reporting, tax preparation, ledger postings, and account management. Happy to be here and connect! Sincerely, Nicole
