Experience
Bernadette began writing in entertainment at Floor 8 and joined Nicki Swift News in February 2020, thanks to her love of celebrity news and coverage of the royal family. Her first piece ever at Nicki Swift was on Melania Trump, and ever since, she's taken an interest in covering the political families of America as well as reality TV. With the Trumps, those two worlds collide easily. She continues to stay immersed in current social moments and uses that interest to enhance her writing at Nicki Swift. She stays on top of things via Twitter, Instagram, and trending topics.
