Designations

In addition, Nikki holds the CFP® and CLU® designations

The Certified Financial PlannerTM (CFP®) certification is one of the most recognized financial planning marks in the world. CFP® certification identifies to the public those individuals who have met rigorous professional standards and have agreed to adhere to the principles of integrity, objectivity, competence, fairness, confidentiality, professionalism, and diligence when dealing with clients. The certification differs from an educational designation or state license in that it is based upon requirements that have been determined by extensive job analyses of actual practitioners in the field, and therefore, continue to evolve with the profession. The CFP® certification prepares the financial services professional for a career-long commitment to meeting the ever-changing financial needs of clients.

The Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU®) designation has long been recognized as the fundamental and foremost educational credential for life insurance professionals. Since 1927, more than 94,000 individuals have earned their CLU, helping them build a successful life insurance practice by providing clients with knowledgeable and ethical advice. For financial representatives, field management, home office personnel, and others involved in providing life insurance products to the public, the CLU designation symbolizes continuing growth and commitment to professionalism.

For five years, Nikki participated in a leadership role within the organization. She assisted in the selection and development of new representatives.

• Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) 2009

HerStory Makers

Nikki founded the group “HerStory Makers” in the Fall of 2017 out of a consistently heard feedback and desire for the women in their agency to have an opportunity to connect. The goal for this group is to motivate, connect, share ideas and bring together the women advisors, interns, leadership, and support roles inside the network. Each month’s meeting is a little different. While these gatherings are social in nature, in no way are they limited to just hanging out.  The group discusses many important topics and bounces ideas off of each other.  They look forward to continuing to expand their group and make an impact in their community!
