Marine & Waterfront Real Estate Reporter
Nicolle Girolamo grew up along the South Florida coast and developed a deep familiarity with the marine industry and waterfront property market that defines the region. Her reporting connects the dots between yachting culture, waterfront development, and the business of coastal living — beats that few journalists in South Florida cover with the same level of industry access. Before joining South Florida Standard, Nicolle worked in marine operations and yacht management, giving her an insider's perspective that drives her sourcing and story selection. She earned a degree in communications with a concentration in business reporting. When she's not tracking a marina development story or profiling a new waterfront listing, she's on the water herself — typically somewhere between Fort Lauderdale and the Keys.
