Nikki knew from a young age she would be working with animals for the rest of her life. She started volunteering at the Bradshaw shelter in 9th grade, which she continued to do for 4 years. She worked for Placer County Animal Services for about a year, before spending many years working in Emergency medicine as a veterinary assistant, providing high level veterinary care.
She has been in the veterinary field since 2000, obtaining her RVT license in 2008. She has been in management since 2015 which she enjoys very much. She briefly worked at UC Davis supervising ER/ICU prior to managing 2 area veterinary hospitals.
She has been a Granite Bay resident since 2015. She has a husband, 4 busy kids, and many pets including dogs, a cat, and 4 ducks. She has a history of showing dogs in both AKC/UKC, and was a breeder for many years. Animal control still holds a special place in her heart and she is passionate about working closely with the local animal shelters to run donation drives, especially focusing on the Pet Food Assistance Program for pets in need. Community outreach is also a major focus. In her “spare time” you can usually find her staying busy with her youngest child who is active in competitive Jiu-Jitsu.
