Nikki attended and graduated from Old Dominion University located in Norfolk, VA; where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree.

Prior to joining the Hargrave Staff, Nikki worked for the Pittsylvania County Department of Social Services as a Family Services Specialist/Child Protective Services from 2015-2019. Since being here at Hargrave, Nikki has earned the title of Editor-in-Chief of Hargrave’s biannual publication, Guidon.

Hargrave is a special place. I grew up in the area always knowing Hargrave was just a few miles away, but working here has given me a whole new perspective. The boys that come through here gain not only academic knowledge, but knowledge that they can carry with them into the real world; knowledge that puts them one step ahead of their peers.
