Nikki is the visionary of an amazing STEAM school, champion for Black children that has the heart of an educator and hustle of an entrepreneur. An 18-year veteran educator, she has had the privilege to educate children, lead schools, train teachers and coach leaders across the country through various roles in the field. Her greatest accomplishment is the founding of DELTA STEAM Academy, a K-8, tuition-free public charter school in Metro Atlanta where she is daily realizing the vision of being the BEST in the country at producing the next generation of culturally conscious, critical and creative thinkers. As a former Biomedical Engineer, Nikki is passionate about diversifying the fields of STEM, specifically with Black leaders and women. Ultimately, she desires to have a network of schools that impacts Black communities across the nation by making STEAM accessible to every child that looks like her. During her times of refreshing, she enjoys reading, dancing, and being anywhere near water.
