BIO
Nia Sanchez was born and raised in Sacramento until age 7. From there, her love of travel began, as she moved between California and Washington. After high school, she moved to Europe to become a nanny. Not one to stay still for too long, Nia traveled to the Middle East, Austria and Switzerland. Nia is half Hispanic, which is why she loved having the opportunity to travel to Mexico on mission trips. In 2009, she saw a close friend take the title of Miss USA and decided to get into pageantry. She has competed both domestically and internationally with great success. Nia has worked as a full-time model for the past seven years and was chosen out of thousands of applicants to be a face character for Hong Kong Disney. After visiting Thailand and the Great Wall of China, Nia made the bright lights of Las Vegas her home. She is modeling full time and enjoying her reign as Miss USA 2014.
