Nicole Ortega, a native of Long Island, N.Y. and alum of Penn State University (WE ARE!), has been active and playing sports since her childhood. She’s played soccer, volleyball, and lacrosse and earned captaincy for the latter two sports. Nicole also enjoys going to the gym and staying active, especially through group exercise classes, a favorite fitness pastime. Her role with MIT Recreation has her overseeing the day-to-day operations at Alumni/Wang and the administrative functions of memberships. (If you have a membership question, Nicole will likely have the answer!)

Outside of the office, Nicole enjoys going to the movies, cooking, and going to exercise classes.
