Nicole Gabe is an award-winning journalist who comes to Boston 25 after spending five years at WINK News in Fort Myers, FL. In 2021, the station named her the first anchor of its new 3 pm newscast. While at WINK, Gabe guided South Florida, viewers, through many breaking news stories, including the Gabby Petito murder and the Surfside condominium collapse that killed 98 people, and when Hurricane Ian struck Southwest Florida as a powerful Category 4 storm, Nicole left the desk and went into those devastated communities to report on the aftermath and recovery. Gabe gave her time to the Shelter for Abused Women and Children in Naples, FL. She volunteered to do a series of special reports highlighting how a small staff and a group of dedicated volunteers helped domestic violence survivors regain control of their lives. Gabe is from Virginia and a proud graduate of Virginia Tech, where she studied Journalism and Political Science.
