Before joining the team in January 2023, Nikki was a reporter and fill-in anchor with WRTV in Indianapolis. Nikki also often took on lead and breaking stories, including the FedEx mass shooting, statewide COVID-19 vaccine rollout, Indiana statehouse special session and the 2021 March Madness Tournament held solely in Indianapolis.
Her career started in Western New York as a reporter and fill-in anchor at WKBW-TV. While in Buffalo, Nikki also served as a Make-A-Wish Wish Hero and on the board of Second Generation Theatre Company.
