A holder of two master’s degrees, the most recent one being in Magazine Journalism from Cardiff University, Nikita’s work has appeared in several publications such as Motor Sport Magazine, NME, Marriott Bonvoy, The Independent, and Metro.

In her downtime, Nikita can usually be found sinking hours into RPGs on her PS5, flying a drone, out on a walk with a camera in hand, at a concert, watching F1, or planning her next tattoo. You can follow her photography account on Instagram here.
