Atty. Nia Gamble

• Exposure at a young age to positive female role models in the legal industry piqued an interest in law for Nia Gamble
• Nia explained how seeing a childhood friend’s mother and then later a judge she considered a mentor thrive, as the inspiration needed to spur her career. “Representation is extremely important
• When you see someone that looks like you, you may feel more comfortable, or you realize, ‘hey, I can do this too.’ And so growing up and having a positive role model, it definitely played a role,” Nia stated
• But it was when the Detroit, Michigan native took part in a mock trial while in sixth grade and had a chance to experience law firsthand, that she first knew she had found her calling
• She credits her father, a teacher, and those role models, with helping her imagine a world in which she could achieve that calling
• Nia attended Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, and graduated in 2016 with a B.A. in Spanish Language and Literature
• After graduation, she moved to Madrid, Spain, where she taught English at Gonzalo De Berceo Elementary School
• Finding the experience enriching, Nia returned to Madrid for a second year, where she was able to vastly improve her Spanish fluency
• Upon her return to Michigan, she worked at a non-profit, Beyond Basics, which aims to reduce the illiteracy rate of students in Detroit
• It was during this period that Nia decided to formally pursue an education in law
• Nia attended the University of San Francisco School of Law in the Fall of 2019 where she was extremely involved in campus extracurricular affairs
• Before starting USF, she became a member of Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority, and continues to be a member in good standing
• This association allowed her to volunteer at various community outreach events, where she worked to improve her environment for her neighbors
• Nia also participated on the 2021 Robert F. Wagner Moot Court Team
• She graduated and received her Juris Doctor from the USF School of Law in May 2022
• Nia is a member of the State Bar of California and is licensed to practice before California state and federal courts
• She belongs to the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA) and the Langston Bar Association
• Nia is currently a member of Adamson Ahdoot’s litigation team
• An avid lover of music, Nia loves vinyl and singing Karaoke
• She also loves volunteering in her community and making a positive impact on those around her
