Nik Sanchez is an 18 year old, budding young actor and model. He refers to himself as "Awesomely Autistic" and he is a strong Advocate for Kindness. He recently made history as the first actor with autism to portray a lead character with autism in a Hallmark movie in Our Christmas Journey with Holly Robinson Peete and Lyriq Bent. Nik has portrayed other characters on the Spectrum in Film and Television and truly enjoys being able to help tell the many different stories of his community. Nik is also working on his Bachelors degree in Game Design, as video games have always been a passion of his and a way for him to connect with the world around him. Growing up, Nik viewed his autism as a superpower that allowed him to see and experience the world in a different way than others. As a young adult already making history, Nik continues to lead with kindness, spread awareness, and breakthrough any limited perceptions of what living with autism really looks like.
