Nicole Demerse

Nicole Demerse's passion for storytelling has taken her on a continent-wide adventure, writing for over three dozen productions, including as consulting producer on Hulu's YA, sci-fi series Utopia Falls, Peacock's half-hour dramedy Mohawk Girls and TeenNick's Degrassi: The Next Generation. Nicole's writing on Degrassi: The Next Generation garnered her a Canadian Screen Award nomination for a two-part episode on teen abortion that was banned in the U.S. and featured in a New York Times exposé. Nicole also won a Writer's Guild of Canada Award for her script on the family comedy Blobheads.

Nicole earned a Bachelor of Science degree and started her Master's in Marine Biology before being accepted into the prestigious University of Toronto Medical School. To pay for college, Nicole drove a transit bus and had a brief stint as a science journalist before realizing she had no sources and preferred making up great stories. Nicole is a proud alumna of the Canadian Film Centre, the National Screen Institute, the Shaw Media Showrunner Training Program, and has been an elected representative of the Writer's Guild of Canada Board and mentored for Women in Film LA.
