A little about Nikki Weisensel...
Nikki is married to her personal comedian, supporter and best friend Matt. They have 2 wonderful children. Adalynn, 2 years old, is very independent and has an extremely outgoing personality. Beau is 8 months old and loves to laugh and tends to go with the flow. They also have 2 dogs named Marley and Juniper. Nikki and her family currently reside in Pflugerville, TX.
When she's hard at play, Nikki enjoys DIY projects and crafts, listening to music, trying new food, being outdoors, and loves being near water!
Nikki has been in education for three years and really finds great joy in her students capacity for being so accepting of others.
One of Nikki's many strengths is her flexibility!
