Nikki joined VCA Lakewood Animal Hospital in 2019 as a Veterinary Assistant. She grew up around creatures from hamsters, fish, cats, and dogs to chickens, goats, and horses. Her love for animals pushed her to pursue her career in the veterinary field.

Nikki lives in the greater Cleveland area with her husband, son, and their affectionately self-proclaimed zoo. Nikki spends any free time she may have battling zombies. When she's done playing video games you can find her at her piano or on the porch swing with her son reading Harry Potter together.
