Nikki Bhimavarapu is a Peer Facilitator with Badger Supports, where she facilitates peer-support groups and campus workshops focused on mental health, active listening, and student well-being. 

Nikki is a Global Health major on the Pre-Physican-Assistant pathway. She is especially passionate in supporting underrepresented groups and hopes to help make healthcare more fair and accessible in the future as a PA.

Nikki learned to support fellow students through Badger Spill, a peer-to-peer support network at UW–Madison. Through this role, she has developed strong skills in empathy, active listening, and mental health awareness.

Nikki is also interested in traveling, baking, and exercising. She hopes to study abroad next year and visit a lot more countries. When it comes to baking, she especially loves experimenting with different flavors, creating fun recipes such as matcha white chocolate chip cookies or cardamon tres leche cake! When she's not traveling or baking you can find her working out at the Nicholas Rec center.
