Nikki is a professional of integrity and tenacity. Not only did Nikki vet my skills and experience, she explored with me the fundamental aspects of what I wanted in my future position. She assured me that my expectations and goals were possible and worked on my behalf. As the search dragged on, I noticed other job opportunities offered by her firm, that I would qualify for, were not mentioned to me.
In discussing this with Nikki, she encouraged me to be patient and to trust the position I described to her would come to fruition. She was right and I admire and respect her for her candor and encouragement
