Nicole Hughes
Senior Vice President
"Nicole Hughes is a Senior Vice President with Primerica. She joined the financial services company in 2000 after a career in print journalism. She is grateful and honored to lead a team of 78 reps and advisors among six branches in the Oklahoma City area and serves more than 3,500 clients. Her passion lies in teaching people how money works. She especially loves empowering women with the money knowledge they vitally need to lead successful financial lives. She has served on the national Women in Primerica Board of Directors for 15 years. She and her husband Matt, who works alongside her in their business, have volunteered teaching the marriage preparation financial classes for the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City for the past nine years. They have been members of St. Eugene Catholic Church since 2010, where they head up the Welcome Committee and have held various volunteer leadership roles. They have been married for 27 years and have a 19-year-old daughter named Ryan who is pursuing a film and television degree from DePaul University in Chicago. After Jesus, her family and financial education, Nicole's fourth passion is procuring fabulous vintage finds and passing them on. Her most cherished design project is the Chouse -- the former Catholic church they called home for eight years. Investments are her forte, but she is also a mortgage broker and holds her Oklahoma life and health license, as well as her Series 6, 63, 26 and 65 investment licenses. She has a BA in journalism and minors in Spanish and political science from the University of Oklahoma. She is more motivated today by what she can give away as well as by mentoring and coaching others on their journey to pursue their goals and dreams. She gives God all the honor and glory."
