Nikki was bitten by the acting bug at a young age: From singing in the school choir, to staging skits in class, to roles in productions of Annie and Aladdin, wherever her family’s travels took her she was ready to perform. Upon entering high school in the fall of 2007, Nikki began studying drama and later that school year she became a founding member of her schools Improv team. During grade 10 she continued to hone her acting skills as a key member of the Improv team and earned the Drama Award for achievements in class. Nikki also collaborated with her classmates to write and perform Street Stories, an exploration of the plight of the homeless, which was featured in an article in the Toronto Star. Ultimately, this contributed to the launch of the Homeless Hub curriculum, which was used to enlighten students about homelessness. In her grade 11 year, Nikki starred as Maureen in her high school’s production of Rent, and showed off her musical skills. In her grade 12 year Nikki worked with her fellow drama students to participate in the Sears Festival and won a merit for her acting in “The Kissing Scene.” Right now Nikki is back for her third year at Queens University where she is continuing with her major is Classical Studies.
