How it started: In a previous role within the BBC, Nicky’s team brought in trainer who led an improvisation skills course to increase interpersonal communication.

Enjoys: Music, theatre, Brazilian partner dancing forro, clowning, singing in harmony, swimming in icy water first thing, yoga, neuroscience, her home near the shore, current studies with The Somatic School, and bright green tops to match her bright red curly hair.

Let us in on a secret: With a BA in performing arts and media, Nicky utilizes her passion as a vocalist through performing in venues across London including Southbank Centre, Water Rats and Pizza Express.  At 18, her talents were discovered while busking on the streets of Chester where she ended up as a resident artist at a jazz venue. She also used her singing superpowers to fund her travel projects. One of Nicky’s memories being when she sang the famous ‘Fever’ in between service cocktails in a Tel a Viv musical restaurant called Punchline.
