Hello friends! My name is Nikki and I am a feminist, activist, artist, academic, and visionary of otherwise worlds. I entered politics, like many other women and feminized persons in 2016 because I got scared, because I finally started paying attention as a privileged white woman. And thank a god we did! I am thrilled to be there.

I am the animator of the feminist, political, history-adjacent practice Theatre of the Ghostly Feminine. I am a theatre lover and maker who recognizes and seeks to harness theatre’s inherent power to question, to transform perceptions, to rupture supposed givens. I also consider myself a part-time historian and part-time history-adjacent researcher – always in search of the ghostly ebbs and flows, attuned to the hidden, the excluded, the erased, to what is not being said, to when unexpected emotions or physical responses arise in certain situations and in certain places. I go in search of feminized ghostly matters and then make theatre about them in order to addressed repressed or unresolved social violences and motivate actions towards more liveable futures.

I received a BA in Theatre Arts from the University of Richmond in 2016 followed by a MA in Performance Studies from New York University Tisch School of the Arts in 2021. Between my degrees, I worked as an actor in Columbus, OH. I researched, created, and performed the feminist play "Marie Regina: The Life of Mary, Stuart Queen of Scots," which had its World Premiere in 2020 at the Abbey Theater of Dublin, Ohio. My current project focuses on the Pendle Witches and the eerie similarities between the European witch hunts and modern-day legislation in the US against feminine/feminized persons.
