Her doctoral research at Robert Morris University, The Kardashian Effect, examines how social media shapes the emotional wellness of millennial women. That work grew into the Four Mirrors Framework, which teaches how emotional intelligence and generational difference show up in the way we post, read and respond online.

Dr. Nikki brings together a Master's in Communication from Trinity Washington University, a Doctorate in Information Systems and Communication, and years of project-management experience in federal government service. As a result, her programs are well researched and also well run: clear objectives, organized delivery and measurable takeaways.

Dr. Nikki is also trained in aromatherapy. When it helps the audience, she brings scent and other senses into her talks and workshops, giving people a calming, hands-on way to put emotional wellness into practice.

She has led workshops for organizations including Girl Scouts and local public school systems, and has been featured at The Black Mental Wellness® Conference, Fab Body Retreat, Healing Girl Privilege and Black Girl TRIBE. On podcasts including Gettin' Grown, Side Hustle Pro and The Ghetto CEO, she discusses the relationship between social media and emotional wellness.

She has facilitated leadership development for Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.'s Delta PEARL Program and led staff development for educators at Ballou High School in Washington, D.C.

Her Why

Depression is roughly 1.5 times more common in women than in men. The pattern starts early online: Pew Research Center finds teen girls are twice as likely as boys to say social media has hurt their confidence (20% vs. 10%). Yet most of us don't see it in ourselves. Dr. Nikki's work helps people stand in front of the mirror and develop habits, boundaries and conversations that protect their well-being.
