Cleo Nichol
Human Resources Generalist

Cleo Nichol joined Prism Real Estate Services, LLC in February 2023 as the Human Resources Assistant and was promoted to Human Resources Generalist in 2024. Cleo holds a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling and Music Theory. She began her professional career as a Victim Advocate for victims of assault and harassment in Springfield, MO, where she founded a nonprofit organization focused on raising awareness in her local community. She collaborated with several local resource centers and news stations to implement changes in police stations and courtrooms, enabling victims to feel more comfortable coming forward. This included an investigation with CNN into the backlog and mishandling of open case evidence, which led to widespread accountability and policy changes within the Springfield Police Department.

After moving back to Kansas City to be closer to family, Cleo worked as a Behavioral Therapist for young children. While it was a very rewarding career, she sought a change that would allow her to utilize her skills with adults after having children of her own. This is when she found Human Resources! Cleo aims to create a more fulfilling workplace for herself and her coworkers through ethical HR practices. Her experiences as a Victim Advocate and Therapist have made her a great asset to the Human Resources Team!

Cleo is known for her attention to detail, skillful organization, advocacy for positive change, and goofy personality. She is an expert at bringing new employees into the Prism Nation by making them feel welcomed and prepared for their new roles. Cleo helps facilitate various employee processes, including recruiting & onboarding, benefits enrollment, UKG & email administration, the monthly newsletter, employee appreciation events, and more.

Outside of Prism, Cleo enjoys going to parks with her partner and children, snuggling with her pets, pushing her way to the front of rock concerts, and creating music through piano, bass, & vocals.
