Nikki is from the Chicago suburbs and a rising sophomore at Columbia University studying Operations Research with a minor in Aerospace Engineering. She is an alum of YSPA 2023, so she’s super excited to be involved with the program again this summer! Nikki also develops flight software framework for Columbia Space Initiative’s CubeSat and is an editor of the university’s Undergraduate Science Journal. Outside of her studies, she’s a big fan of tennis, traveling, art history, and listening to music.
