Nikki Synder (Republican)
BiographyI'd like to introduce myself and share why getting involved in this election as a Michigan State Board of Education candidate is a desire for which I am passionate. I was born and raised in Marquette, Michigan. I moved to Dexter, Michigan at the age of 14 where I have resided most of my life since. Here, I met my husband with whom I have three children, two sons and one daughter. We are both committed to one another through our faith, family and our efforts to promote and preserve the values that make our country great. I received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Eastern Michigan University while working at the University of Michigan. Upon graduating from EMU, I took a job as a Registered Nurse in Obstetrics. After almost 10 years at UofM, I am now at Providence Park in Novi working as a Lactation Consultant on a contingent basis. I have also worked as an Adjunct Faculty Professor at University of Detroit Mercy and I am currently working as a Part-Time Faculty at Washtenaw Community College. I am very rewarded by the impact of the work that I do within the various capacities.
