About Me

My name is Nicole Black and I manage the MyChicagoMommy.com website. I've been told that I was born to shop... however NEVER at full price! I remember as young as 10 or 12 years old, looking through the Thanksgiving day newspaper ads with my mom, and planning a strategy for Black Friday. I think through MyChicagoMommy.com, I have found my passion of helping others save while shopping! After I graduated from the University of Iowa, my career took many paths such as web development, nursing home administration and healthcare sales. I currently consult part-time in the Chicago area for various healthcare companies. However, after recently getting married I left my full time career as a Regional Sales Director with a national healthcare company to take part in MyChicagoMommy.com! In the mid to late 90's, I started my career in web development. At that time, large corporations were just learning how to use the web (and in a very basic way!). Never, at that time would I have dreamed that the internet would be used by a network of moms across the United States to help each other save while shopping! As excited as I am to save while shopping, by far the best find on the internet for me, was my husband! My husband and I are one of those Match.com success stories. We were married in 2010, and although not a mom yet, we hope to start a family soon. I look forward to sharing savings and learning more about all of you though this journey. As you can see, just like me...you never know what you might find!
