Nikki has been a classroom teacher for 18 years and is currently teaching fourth-grade math/science in Mechanicsburg, PA. For the past 15 years, she has also worked as an educational consultant, facilitating professional development focused on elementary math curriculum and instruction across the United States. Nikki has presented at national mathematics conferences and worked with countless school districts to assist with successful implementation of K–5 curricula. She believes that math is for all students and that no one is “good” or “bad” at math! Rather, all students are capable of understanding math concepts, especially when working with an effective, engaging teacher. When she is not working with teachers or students in the classroom (or on Zoom), Nikki loves spending time with her two children at the beach, teaching preschool gymnastics, reading for pleasure, and watching police/medical dramas like NCIS or Chicago Med.
