Niki Ralston

I began this incredible journey with MRI Flagstaff in 2007 and am passionate about what I do. I am able to match the greatest talent and greatest abilities and skills to a company that values, encourages and motivates their employees to succeed while providing top of the line customer service and the best products and services available.

After 13 years as a successful recruiter and project manager, I took over as the Owner and President!  Since January of 2021, I have been honored to continue the success Brian Petersen started and continued until he decided hanging with his family sounded more fun than working😊 (can’t blame him). 

I love the partnerships we build with education companies and candidates.  We are able to match the best candidates and companies together, by communicating and working directly with the candidate and the company. This allows us to ensure a smooth process from start to finish for all aspects of the process and the BEST possible match between a candidates needs and wants and the companies needs and wants. Our office prides itself on being the ultimate liaison, connecting exceptional employees to exceptional companies. We love building and growing relationships with every person we speak to. We love listening to your story and helping to guide you on your journey, to help create the most memorable successful and positive career journey.

Prior to joining the recruiting industry, my career has included roles in educating, consulting, selling and supervising. I spent several years working for a major bank offering advice, suggestions and assistance from opening an account, to investing, to business accounts and multiple types of loans. For over 8 years, I excelled as a small business expert by educating and offering a variety of tools, skills and products that would allow small businesses to succeed. I developed, trained and supervised persons of all levels in the organization from new hire to management.

I love working in the educational market because I know what a difference I can make and I am able to help facilitate productive change in people's lives, for their families and to further their career aspirations, while positively impacting the future of our children.

I have 3 amazing children; Jayson, Jasmine and Ashlyn and an incredible husband; Carson. We live in a small town in Arizona with our dogs and as a family, we love to hike, fish, kayak, camp,  and more …even better – we are blessed by having all of the adventures available in our backyard! I love spending time with family and trying new healthy recipes using home grown vegetables in the summer.
