Get to Know Nikki

What activity or person from your youth influenced you most and provided you with life wisdom?
My mom has always been the biggest influence and source of wisdom for me.  As just one example, when I was deciding on my major in college, she suggested accounting.  At the time I couldn’t think of anything that sounded more boring than accounting.  Fortunately, she knew me better than I knew myself and as soon as I took my first accounting class I knew she was right and that it was a great fit for me.

How would your colleagues describe you and what you bring to the team and to clients?
I would think (hope) that my colleagues would describe me as someone who brings a positive outlook and organizational skills to the team.

What are you passionate about outside of work?
I am most passionate about my little family.  I love watching my kids learn new things every day and just listening to the funny things that come out of their mouths.  Getting to experience them growing up alongside my husband makes it even more special. 
 
What do you like about working for Barclay Group?
I love the variety of clients that we have that bring different opportunities and challenges every day.  When you pair this with the flexibility that Barclay Group provides us it makes it the perfect fit for me and my family.
