Nikki Skelton is currently working on a second Bachelor's degree in Natural Resources and previously graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's in Anthropology and a Master's in Development Practice. In the past, Nikki has partnered with a number of academic, non-profit and government agencies such as the UA's Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology, the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, the International Rescue Committee, and the Swaziland National Trust Commission to analyze issues such as food security, water quality, access to affordable housing, natural resource use, and poverty in both southern Arizona and abroad.
