Paid for by the committee to elect Nicole Spencer * 17325 Beechwood Beverly Hills, MI 48025
Meet Nicole
Hi! I am Nicole Spencer. I live in Beverly Hills with my husband and our nine year old son who attends Beverly Elementary + our two cats.
My husband grew up in this community and we moved here eleven years ago because of the excellent public school system.
In my free time I enjoy reading, collecting rocks, creating art and spending time up north.
