The acting “bug” landed on Nikki while sitting in a college psychology course. She knew immediately that she didn’t want to sit and listen to everyone else’s problems for the rest of her life. Instead, she wanted to showcase their problems and hopefully their triumphs for the rest of her life.
After graduation, she took her talents to KD Studios Actors Conservatory where she met her first agent, Ivett Stone. From there, she began working in the commercial world and quickly moved on to film and television. She is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA, where she currently serves on the DFW local board.
Nikki is most often booked as a doctor, a law enforcement officer or a criminal. Her goal: to eventually play them all at the same time.
When not acting, she’s a fitness instructor, helps her husband run a custom suit business and sobs uncontrollably at ASPCA commercials.
