Hi, I’m Nikki a seasoned professional with 32 years of experience in the corporate world, having held various leadership and strategic roles across the IT industry. After decades of driving business growth, fostering innovation, and navigating complex challenges, I made a bold transition to pursue a lifelong passion for dogs. Combining years of business acumen with a deep love for pets, I launched The Original Dog Mom (theoriginaldogmom.com), a comprehensive online resource dedicated to providing advice, guidance, and support for fellow dog parents.

Through The Original Dog Mom, I share expert tips on dog care, nutrition, health, and behavior, aiming to help dog owners nurture happy, healthy relationships with their furry companions. The site also features a curated store, offering a fun and unique collection of products for dogs and dog lovers alike. From playful toys to stylish accessories, each item is carefully selected to bring joy to both pets and their owners.

Driven by a desire to create a positive impact in the lives of dogs and their families, I am committed to building a community of passionate dog lovers while providing valuable resources for all stages of pet ownership. This new chapter blends professional expertise with personal passion, making a difference in the lives of dogs and their dedicated owners.
