Nicole Finen, Park Ranger

Park Ranger Nicole "Nikki" Finen moved to Panama City when she was 11 years old. Her best childhood memories include camping, hiking, and swimming in the emerald-colored water of the Gulf of Mexico at St. Andrews State Park.

When Nikki had an opportunity to become a ranger in her favorite park, she found the greatest job in the world! Nikki loves calling St. Andrews her home and strives to teach visitors how we protect and preserve the park's unique natural resources.

When visiting the park, you will find Nikki sharing her dedication to protecting and preserving the park and educating visitors about enjoying its resources. She invites visitors to explore the beauty of St. Andrews State Park and make unforgettable memories.
