After relocating back to Atlanta from Memphis, she dedicated time working at Bloom Our Youth, a non-profit foster care organization, as a recruitment and communications intern. In addition to being a public servant, Nia continues to curate and indulge in her passion of journalism through being a freelance writer and has been published in the Georgia Municipal Association GA Cities Magazine. She is a member of the Douglas County Chamber’s Douglas County Young Professionals and serves as a member of the marketing committee.
