Profile

Nikki Kaye was born and raised in Auckland. She was educated at Corran School where she was Head Prefect and gained a Bachelor of Science from the University of Otago, majoring in Genetics. She is also expecting to complete her LL.B later this year.

In 1999, Nikki joined the National Party and has held various roles in the Party organisation. She took a professional role as a Researcher in the Office of the Leader of the Opposition in 2002, where she supported National MPs on issues such as Justice and Housing. Like many New Zealanders, Nikki took the opportunity to have an “O.E” and moved to London in 2003. She worked in a variety of public policy and frontline delivery roles in transport and social policy.

Nikki’s career has developed with a move into project management and most recently, she ran a major information technology project for a large financial institution. She has also launched a company utilising internet technology to help political, charitable and corporate organisations to identify and engage with skilled people who can contribute to organisations in both volunteer and paid roles.

Nikki has maintained her involvement in politics and was elected Vice Chairman of the International Youth Democratic Union (IYDU), a grouping of major centre right political parties in December 2006. She was reelected in December 2007.

In 2007, she returned to New Zealand to fulfil a long held ambition to stand for Parliament for the National Party.

Her interests include reading, films and she is a keen participant in multi-sport events, having completed the Coast to Coast Race in 2008. She enjoys showing off the many attractions in the Auckland Central electorate to friends and family.

Nikki was elected with a majority of 1,181 votes.
