Nikki has a passion for animals and volunteers for the Humane Society. She has two rescue pets: A dog named Reggie White (yes, after the Minister of Defense) and a cat named Louis.

 

Nikki has covered stories across the country, including Presidential elections, the 2017 Inauguration, hurricanes in the Carolinas and tornadoes in Kentucky, the landmark same-sex marriage decision at the Supreme Court, riots in Baltimore, White House press briefings and fence-jumpers, the Philadelphia train derailment, several Kentucky Derby races and the NCAA tournament. Her favorite stories, however, are stories about people, and she can’t wait to tell the stories of the wonderful people in Tennessee.

 

She lives in Nashville with her husband.
