Nikita grew up in northern Wisconsin and studied Psychology and Theology at Marquette University in Milwaukee. She then got her Master of Human Rights degree from the University of Minnesota before sticking around for law school. This summer, Nikita was a federal judicial extern at the Minnesota District Court. During her downtime, she was able to enjoy her favorite seasonal hobbies: long walks, kayaking...and watching the Olympics/Paralympics, of course! Come winter, you can find her reading a cozy mystery or watching Love is Blind. Nikita loves to meet and catch up with folks, so catch her in the halls of Mondale and say hi anytime!

John moved eight times when he was growing up, but he’s come to the conclusion that he’s from Brooklyn Park, MN. He's a double gopher who studied Theatre Arts and Sociology of Law, Criminology, and Deviance. Prior to law school, John worked as a legal assistant and was elected to serve on the Board of Directors for the University of Minnesota Alumni Association. His professional interests lie in sports and entertainment. In his free time, you can catch him at a local theatre, throwing t-shirts at a Timberwolves game, or at auto-tune karaoke!

When she's avoiding the law school she is coaching her 14U softball team, spending time with her brother (an undergrad at the U), and rewatching Ted Lasso with her roommate.
