It’s tools down and roses up this time around for Niki!
No stranger to the reality TV scene, you might recognise Niki from the fifth season of The Block NZ!
Looking for a man who is in tune with himself, Niki wants someone who can love her for who she is despite her flaws, and most importantly, ensures she is heard.
A qualified marriage celebrant, Niki knows what a fairy-tale ever after looks like – will it be her turn this time around?
What’s your go-to party trick?
Spilling red wine and imagining it’s a fascinating crime scene to be analysed. Is this why I don’t get invited to parties very often anymore?
What’s an interesting fact people wouldn’t necessarily know about you?
I research how forensic scientists make decisions about bloodstain pattern evidence and develop methods to improve reliability and decrease cognitive bias in the forensic sciences!
Where is your favourite place to holiday in Aotearoa, and why?
Sandy Bay, Northland. I used to go there as a kid and through my teens with my best friend and her family. So many memories of being carefree and believing we owned the world.
