Education

Nicki is an avid life learner, convinced that success relies on evolving expertise. She actively pursues continuing education, but cherishes the on the job experience that even failures have taught her.  

As a Bachelor of Journalism undergrad with a minor in business from UT-Austin, Nicki pursued her first continuing education certificate in marketing from Southern Methodist University just five years into her career. 

Four years later she received her certification in Six Sigma through application as a change management practitioner.

Six years later, Nicki obtained a digital marketing certificate from Harvard Business School and in 2014 completed a year-long fellowship program at Columbia University. 

In 2024, perhaps her most aggressive pivot was learning to code python from scratch and develop neural networks to meet practical business challenges that enabled her to complete a post-graduate certification in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning from the McCombs School of Business at UT-Austin.
