Nikki started dancing since she can remember and trained mostly in ballet. After she turned eighteen she danced with various professional ballet companies. It wasn't until she joined up with a company called Physical Rhythm Project that was ballet/hip-hop fusion that she found her love for street dancing. Sponsored by NIKE, she then taught hip-hop classes at the NIKE campus in Portland, OR and discovered her love for
group fitness. She since has been teaching various fitness classes on both the West and East Coast, with various certifications, for about 17 years (roughly 7 at the ARC).

She currently is a Commercial Real Estate Broker, a wife to an
amazing husband and a mom to an awesome 8 year old boy.
