Nikki Huber admits she's always had a little bit of "a hyper personality." Let's see if the resume of this 2004 Schaumburg High School graduate supports that claim:
. She makes TV and Web commercials.
. She acts in network TV shows. (She has appeared in "CSI: New York" and the Chicago-based series "The Playboy Club.")
. She models.
. She hosts the half-time shows for the Chicago Slaughter indoor football games at the Sears Centre.
. She runs marathons for charities.
. She reigns as the current Miss Earth Illinois. (Yes, there is a Miss Earth Illinois.)
. She presents award show trophies (such as the recent Chicago Film Critics Awards where she gave trophies to James Earl Jones, Dennis Farina and Jason Segel).
Yep, we'd have to agree. Schaumburg native Nikki Huber has a bit of a hyper personality.
"It takes a lot to keep me amused," she said. "I think that performing, singing, dancing and acting gave me an outlet to really focus my energies and enabled me to become who I am."
The best way to describe Nikki Huber might well be a work in progress. That work began when Huber, 11, signed up to be in the musical "Annie," the first production mounted by the Schaumburg on Stage theater group under the auspices of Dorothy's Dancing Unlimited. "That experience made me realize that I had a funny bone," Huber said.
Her bone was funny enough to motivate Huber, at 14, to enroll at the Arlington Heights campus of The Second City to learn comedy. She was one of only two 19-year-olds to be accepted into the Second City's conservatory program. Huber identified comic timing as her strong suit, "but I never even knew I had that until I went to Second City."
But how did a Columbia College graduate with a B.A. in acting wind up in the world of beauty pageants? Huber said that in her senior year of high school, she received a letter asking her to compete for Miss Teen USA.
