Garland School of Social Work at Baylor University for nearly 15 years, where she develops and implements comprehensive strategies that enhance the school's image, identity and impact across multiple platforms. In her multifaceted role, she crafts compelling narratives about the Garland School through diverse media channels while overseeing all external and internal publications as both writer and editor.

A native of East Texas, Nikki and her husband and children (now all grown!) have called Waco home for more than two decades. When not advancing the mission of the Garland School, she enjoys quality time with family and friends, pursuing creative projects in her craft room and relaxing by the lake. An enthusiastic Star Trek fan, Nikki embodies the curiosity and collaborative spirit that drives her professional work. She considers her position at the Garland School both a privilege and a calling, taking pride in contributing to the meaningful work and lasting impact of the institution she calls home.
