Upon graduating from Princeton in 2002, Cassie Nichols moved to New Haven, Connecticut and conducted educational research at Yale University. Cassie later accepted a faculty position at Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford, Connecticut, where she taught American and World Literature—as well as the college essay—to high school juniors and seniors.
In 2006 Cassie returned to her hometown of Santa Barbara, California to earn a Masters of Arts degree in Education from University of California, Santa Barbara.
