About Nikki Loseff

Nikki Loseff is the Associate Director of the Student Center for Professional Development at the L. Robert Payne School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. A proud alumna of the program, she graduated summa cum laude with a double major in Hospitality and Tourism, with an emphasis in Restaurant Management, and Sustainability from the College of Arts and Letters.

Upon graduating, Nikki spent three years working and living across Europe. She worked in various primary schools as an English teacher in Spain, in an international hostel in Bulgaria, and as a nanny in several countries. All the while she worked remotely for San Diego-based liquor store Keg N Bottle as an eCommerce Analyst where she honed her technical and analytical skills. Her time abroad not only created lifelong memories and connections but provided her with a global perspective on business and hospitality.

Now back at her alma mater, Nikki is excited to help students find their career paths and guide them as they explore professional opportunities. She is dedicated to supporting student engagement through involvement in the program, scholarship opportunities, and industry connections - all while fostering personal and professional growth for the next generation of hospitality and tourism leaders.
