President | Nichole_anderson@mtp.uscourts.gov
I am a dedicated criminal justice professional with extensive experience in supervision, case management, and team leadership. As a Supervising United States Probation Officer, I oversee a division office, guide a team of officers, and manage daily operational responsibilities such as case assignments, report approvals, court coordination, and employee evaluations. My federal work includes post conviction supervision, pretrial reporting, release planning, and close collaboration with treatment providers to support successful outcomes for individuals under supervision.
My background also includes years of service with the Montana Department of Corrections, where I supervised probation and parole caseloads, conducted high risk field operations, and served as a Use of Force and Taser Instructor. Earlier roles in pre release services strengthened my skills in compliance monitoring, counseling support, and transitional planning. With a Criminal Justice degree, a Human Services minor, and extensive specialized training across assessment tools, crisis response, leadership, and officer safety, I bring a strong, steady, and highly trained presence to every role I undertake.

I am an experienced English teacher who has spent more than 20 years helping high school students build strong literacy skills and discover confidence in their own voices. I specialize in designing engaging curriculum, supporting diverse learning needs, and creating classrooms where respect, curiosity, and academic success thrive. My approach blends innovative teaching strategies with individualized support to ensure every student feels seen, capable, and motivated.
Beyond instruction, I value my faith and strong relationships—with students, families, and colleagues. I have led literacy initiatives, collaborated on interdisciplinary units, and consistently sought professional growth to stay current with best practices. My commitment to youth extends into my community work as a long time CASA Guardian ad Litem, where I advocate for children with compassion and integrity.
Courtney Kolias
Treasurer | Courtneyl.kolias86@gmail.com
I am a Licensed Addiction Counselor with a strong academic background in substance abuse counseling and extensive hands on experience in client support, documentation, and crisis response. My education at Great Falls College MSU—where I earned a 3.96 GPA, multiple Dean’s List honors, and leadership recognition—has equipped me with knowledge in pharmacology, co occurring disorders, assessment, case management, and ethical practice. As a writing tutor, I have developed strong communication and coaching skills that translate directly into effective client engagement.
My work as co founder and direct support staff for Ponderosa Pine/Empowered Living Solutions has allowed me to create policies, assess resident needs, coordinate care, manage medication compliance, and provide immediate support during crises. I am actively involved in student leadership, advisory boards, and event planning within the Substance Abuse & Addiction Counseling program, and I hold certifications in MANDT, First Aid/CPR, and tutoring. I am committed to bringing empathy, structure, and professionalism to the recovery process as I begin my career in clinical practice. I am currently in school for my mental health license.
