  • Providene College is a private Catholic institution located in Providence, Rhode Island.

    Niahra earned her Bachelor of Arts in Film from Providence College. A program that only existed as a minor until Niahra decided to create it for herself.

    She participated in several film, writing, communications, and even acting related courses during her time at Providence. Niahra was known to her classmates as someone with a gifted eye for visual presentation and captivating writing ability.

    Niahra was a Division I student-athlete for Providence College’s Volleyball Team. She was a middle blocker that always focused on how she could improve herself and her teammates.

    In addition, Niahra was a repeated Dean’s List recipient.

  • Newhouse Los Angeles is an immersive professional development program based in Los Angeles, California. It provides students with the unique opportunity to work as interns with Los Angeles media companies while taking entertainment industry-related academic courses taught by professionals.

    Niahra was accepted into Newhouse LA in late 2024 and attended the program during her senior spring in 2025 (Jan-April). She was the only non-Syracuse student, but her classmates and professors made her feel more than welcome.

    While taking her classes, she was a Graphic Design & Marketing intern for the Los Angeles Sports Council.

    For Niahra’s TV Nation class, students were given the opportunity to pitch conceptual television ideas to industry executives. These executives would carefully select their favorite pitch at the end of their evaluation.

    For her midterm, Niahra’s scripted television pitch was chosen as the winner amongst her talented classmates. Her final pitch for a non-scripted program won second-place as an honorable mention. (watch the sizzle reel here!)

    Niahra’s experience in Los Angeles (for the first time) only further ignited her ambitions towards entertainment. Making her dreams feel more achievable than ever before.
