Early life and education

Nicklin was born in Danbury, Connecticut where she spent many hours playing imaginary games in the wildlife preserve behind her house. 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.

Her family moved to Ridgefield, Connecticut just before she started high school where she continued to appear in school plays and participated in theater showcases and slam poetry readings. She was also an accomplished soccer player playing in the international Gothia Cup in Sweden at age 17 and was the first female pole vaulter at her high school, winning many county championships. She appeared on-camera for the first time in a short film La Bolsa directly out of high school. She took a year off from school and worked as a bank teller at Fairfield County Bank before attending Emerson College. Nicklin graduated Emerson College a semester early, cum laude, and with a BA in Theater, a BA in Marketing, and minor in psychology.
