My name is Nicholas, but I go by Nick. I joined the team at RAB as the Research & Insights Assistant Position in August of 2022.

I was born and raised in Queens, NY with my parents and brother. I grew up watching various sports throughout my life but the sport that I enjoythe most is the sport of professional wrestling. I love the sport so much that I have my own podcast called "The Ring Fanatics," which can be found on YouTube, Spotify, and other streaming platforms.

Although I live in Queens, I went to College in Brooklyn where I studied at St. Francis College until I graduated in 2020. I was a Communication Arts Major and minored in Sports Management. During my senior year of college, I was the president of the college's radio station - SFC Radio. True story!

I met Erica Farber back in the Fall of 2019 at the CBI (College Broadcasters Inc.) Conference and we exchanged business cards. I kept the business card and three years later I reached out to Erica for a position at the RAB and here I am!

Other fun facts about myself:

1. I recently started getting into photography as a hobby. Created a photography page on Instagram (@nickariasfilm) where I will eventually start posting photos that I have taken.
2. I play soccer on the side for an adult social league called Volo Sports. I've played two seasons so far with my cousin and a few of our friends, who are on the same team.
3. Prior to working at the RAB, I worked at Weill Cornell Medicine as a Customer Service Representative. I also worked at New York Presbyterian in the same capacity.
