Raised in her homelands in the Snake River Valley of what is currently called Idaho, Nikki is a citizen of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes and is also of Paiute and Irish descent.

She is an assistant professor of Environmental Justice Education who studies how to cultivate ethical, caring relationships between human and more-than-human communities. A former first generation college student, Nikki earned her PhD in Learning Sciences from Northwestern University, her MA in Teaching from Pacific University, and her BS in Sociology from Northeastern University. She also has taught middle school and high school English and musical theatre.

For fun, Nikki is learning to play the guitar and occasionally hits a dance class or cheerleading open gym to practice co-ed stunting with her husband.

Nikki and her partner, Kevin, have three boys: Sohobi, Hoda, and Wasa. As a family they enjoy being outside, especially in the woods near water.
