Nikki began working as a full-time civil engineer at ATA after graduating with her civil engineering degree in 2011. Originally starting as an intern prior to graduating, Nikki has worked on a variety of projects including parks and facilities, site work and infrastructure projects, subdivision improvements, accessibility design, roadway rehabilitation, and traffic calming. Nikki is well-versed at working with clients such as the City and County of Honolulu (C&C), Department of Hawaiian Homelands, and Hawaiian Electric Company.

With a passion to improve mobility and access for everyone, Nikki is adept in ADA site improvements and design and is often consulted on ATA projects incorporating ADA elements.
