Nikki is from Hudson, Wisconsin and she initially came to Guatemala in 2017 with her local youth group to partner with a local church in one of the small towns surrounding Lake Atitlan. It was during that trip that the Lord lit a fire in her heart for the people of Guatemala. Upon returning to the US after that trip, she proceeded to study for 2 years at a local college before embarking again on overseas missions on a gap year program called The World Race. After 9 months of traveling the world, and getting to serve & partner with various types of ministries, Nikki was certain that international missions was a call on her life, specifically to Guatemala, and in October of 2021 she finally found herself on a one way flight to Guatemala.

During Nikki’s first 1 1/2 years of living in Guatemala, she served with a small pioneering ministry focused on discipling, empowering, and teaching the population of a village about 45 minutes outside of Antigua. She stumbled upon Oasis on accident, when a friend of a friend who actually serves with Kids Alive in the DR came through Antigua wanting to tour Oasis. The moment that Nikki set foot on the Oasis campus & heard their vision, she knew that the Lord had something for her here.

Nikki is passionate about seeing hope restored, justice sought out, and that people would know the true heart of Jesus.
