Hi I'm Nia! I recently graduated from Marquette with a bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology and am currently applying to grad schools to pursue my master's in nutrition. I've been working with kids since I was 17 when I started coaching and I've been a counselor at camps for a few years. I love kids of all ages although I've primarily worked with 6+.

When it's not so nice outside I like to design and create clothing and accessories or I really enjoy cooking!
