"Kindness is making someone feel seen, valued, and important — even through the smallest gesture."
Why Nikita serves with GlamourGals
GlamourGals has been such an important aspect of my life for over 17 years. I met Rachel Doyle in 2005 at the HOBY Leadership Seminar and was inspired to take on the role of Co-President and then President of my high school’s GG chapter. Then when I started my undergraduate education, I wanted to bring GG with me even though I was no longer a teen volunteer. I decided to start the George Washington University chapter and was able to, along with the help of my sorority sisters who volunteered, write my senior thesis about the inter-generational function that GG played for the elderly women living in Washington, DC nursing homes. Even after graduation, when I moved to NYC, I volunteered to take on many leadership roles within the GG organization such as Alumni Council Chairwoman, Deputy Liaison, and GG Twitter Team so that I could continue to watch the foundation grow.
After moving to Los Angeles in 2015, I have been able to take on my most rewarding leadership role yet as a member of the Advisory Council. From planning and executing LA shopping events where proceeds go to GG to hosting mentor calls with the GG interns based in NYC to voting on the winners of the Glammy Scholarship Awards, I am so grateful to be able to give back to the organization that has shaped me into the powerful and passionate woman I am today.
I currently work as a Partner Manager for Sports & Entertainment at X Corp. (fka Twitter).
3 Questions With Nikita
Tell us about a senior or a teen volunteer you’ll never forget.
"I remember at one makeover in high school, there was a senior who looked very unapproachable and didn't seem to want to participate. As GG President, I decided to sit with her and do her makeover.
She didn't speak to me at first, but I started talking to her and doing her makeup anyway. When I finally showed her the mirror, I saw a small smile appear on her face. It made me feel so good to see how much her demeanor changed in that moment, just from my attempt to connect with her. It made me realize that sometimes all it takes is for someone to make that first effort.”
Finish this sentence: kindness is…
"Kindness is making someone feel seen, valued, and important — even through the smallest gesture.”
What’s the best piece of advice a senior ever gave you?
"Rosalie, one of my favorite seniors, always reminded me to live life to the fullest. She would share the most amazing stories from her life, and I always cherished hearing them. Her stories, and that advice, have stayed with me all these years.”
