Nikki has an undergraduate degree in Music Education from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and an MDiv from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. She was born in Florida but did most of her growing-up in the mountains of western North Carolina. After returning to Florida for college, she was happy to come home to Western North Carolina and begin serving churches here after seminary. After a few years in Hayesville, Greensboro has been home for Nikki and her family since 2020. Nikki is an elder in the Western North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church. She cares deeply about helping people feel welcome in the church and about finding ways to live out our faith in our daily lives.

Nikki is married to Andrew, who is also a United Methodist pastor, serving the Southeast Guilford County Emerging Community of United Methodists. They have two children: 5 year old Asher and baby Ellie, born September 2023, as well as a dog and three cats. They love being outside, trying new foods, and exploring new places, near or far.
