Nikki Reed - Cass County Reading Railroad Program Coordinator

Nikki joined the reading railroad in the late summer of 2009. Nikki is a native of Indiana but spent the first four years of her professional career in Bellingham, Washington. While there she taught at an elementary school ministry. Nikki can tell a story like no other. She loves to bring "life" and "interaction" to her storytelling. When Nikki's not on the Railroad she can be found hiking, biking, kayaking, snowshoeing, canoeing and just soaking up the goodness of the outdoors.
