Life as a Contact Tracer – An Interview with Nik Hagen, Actor, Performer and Creator

Today I interview Nik Hagen an actor, performer and creator about his role as a contact tracer in a global pandemic. Like many people, he had to pivot towards something else and for Nik personally, he had step away from a year of solid theater work in 2020.

We discuss what has been surprising and interesting about contact tracing in a global pandemic, the ins and outs of the work itself and any lessons learned.

Nik also has a huge following on Tiktok @nikhagen where he infuses humor, love and kindness in his videos. I highly suggest you check him out! Thank you for being a light!

Thank you, Nik for being on the show and sharing your experience with us all.

In gratitude,

Nicole
