About Nikisha Bradstreet

Nikisha Bradstreet-Thomas is a dedicated educator who brings over 20 years of customer service experience across industries such as retail, hospitality, insurance, and education. A graduate of Nicholls State University, she holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management. Her diverse professional background has shaped her into a highly adaptable and empathetic team member with a strong commitment to creating positive, solution-focused experiences.

Throughout her career, Ms. Bradstreet-Thomas has built a reputation for building meaningful relationships and understanding the needs of others—qualities that translate seamlessly into her role as an educator. Her greatest strength lies in her compassion for both students and their families. She is passionate about fostering a supportive environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued, and where parents are embraced as essential partners in their child’s growth.

At the heart of her educational philosophy is the belief that empathy builds trust—and that trust is the foundation for meaningful learning and lasting relationships. Her goal is to consistently serve as a positive role model, modeling the values, behaviors, and mindset she hopes to cultivate in her students.

Ms. Bradstreet-Thomas is especially inspired by the Athlos model for its holistic approach to education. She appreciates how it nurtures the whole child—not just academically, but also by promoting physical wellness and performance character. She believes this empowers students to pursue success in all areas of life, both inside and outside the classroom.

She finds great joy in witnessing her students’ growth—not only academically, but emotionally and physically as well—as they evolve into well-rounded individuals ready to take on the world.
