Nia started taking dance classes when she was five years old. Her family moved from Pennsylvania to New York and when her mom tried to find a dance school/class for Nia, Nia told her mom that she can dance at home and did not want her to enroll her. When Nia was six years old, she met a friend at summer camp who taught her how to do a cartwheel. She came home that day and asked her mom to put her in gymnastics. She found a gymnastics class at a local YMCA which she did once a week for one hour. Nia and her family relocated to North Carolina when she was eight years old. She joined Rose's Gymnastics where she competed in the Xcel program at the age of nine.
