Niki has recently joined SWWRPC and serves as supportive personnel focused on long-range environmental planning and climate resiliency. In her role, she plans to make a positive impact, not just within the workplace, but with the communities involved with our work as well. 

Niki is originally from Minnesota, where she attended St. Cloud State University, having graduated with a BA in Geography with minors in GIS and British Studies. Afterwards, she attended Northumbira University in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, obtaining a MSc. in Disaster Management and Sustainable Development. During her time in England, she interned for Igloo Regeneration, the UK's leading social value-based real estate business.

In her free time, Niki enjoys being with her partner and their two dogs, camping and being outdoors, traveling and road tripping, storm spotting, singing, dancing, attending live theatre, going to the gym, and just relaxing to some television at the end of the day.
