Nikki developed the Programs Involving Children background check communications plan. She quickly gathered stakeholders’ input, suggested ways to share this message, and asked critical questions. This initiative helped with the schools’ compliance with a university policy. She developed a new newsletter specific to volunteer faculty. Regarding this work, one leader wrote, “her organizational skills regarding a relatively complex new initiative seem to be excellent.” As a result, we are able to engage and support volunteer faculty members in a more meaningful way. Nikki helped develop a platform for executive search committee members and a Dual Career newsletter—she received praise from leaders for both projects. Additionally, Nikki developed a position statement regarding representational diversity and she contributed to a manuscript for publication, which is not typical for our staff to contribute to scholarly projects. Finally, Nikki was critical in establishing a robust communications plan for the first all-school meeting. Her efforts led to increased attendance. Nikki has taken the school’s faculty communications to the next level and helped improve the overall vitality of our faculty.

Nikki is incredible. In the first few months of her role, she had renewed the look and feel of our digital materials, personally produced a beautiful new set of photography and images for use in collateral and refined our social media strategy towards even greater returns. She’s an absolute joy to be around and adds light and laughter to any room or conversation she joins. It’s rare to find such a combination of talent, character, and conviction in one individual. She has an artistic touch to her digital wizardry and the unique ability to help you realize a visual identity for your organization or project that’s likely even better than what you originally imagined.
