Nikki graduated from the Institute of Technology at the University of Minnesota in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and focus in Actuarial Science. She is used to hard work. At the U of M, she taught herself calculus from textbooks because the classes were so big and the teaching assistants so difficult to understand that she felt she would do better on her own.
