Having no acting offers, she accepted the opportunity to hold the position of a casting assistant for the projects called “The Education of Max Bickford” in 2001. Encouraged with a fortunate chance, Nia brilliantly performed all her responsibilities and gained a good reputation in the entertainment industry. Developing her administrative career, Nia soon became a talent co-ordinator for another project, “Chappelle’s Show”, and then the same year she was promoted to the position of a creative director for “Tenderhearted Film”.
