Background

Nicklin was born in Danbury, Connecticut where she spent many hours playing imaginary games in the wildlife preserve behind her house. She moved to Ridgefield Connecticut for high school where she appeared in school plays and participated in theater showcases and slam poetry readings. Nicklin graduated Emerson College in 2009 cum laude with a BA in Theater, BA in Marketing, and minor in psychology.

She started acting due to a school-girl crush on child star Jonathan Taylor Thomas. At an early age, Nicklin was convinced that they were star-crossed lovers and was determined to become a successful actress in order to meet him. Even though she was terribly shy as a child, she appeared in her first play "Bye, Bye Birdie" in 6th grade and has continued to pursue acting ever since.

She lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
