A Baltimore native this quick-witted girl next door, is blessed with glamour girl moments and a delightful hometown charm. Raised by her mother and older sister, as the baby and "family fool" she often entertained her family anyway she could, craving their attention and approval. Following her mothers wishes she pursued a degree and a successful career in NY's fashion industry, which also birthed an introduction into a Modeling career. A life in entertainment seemed undeniable for this aspirational, bundle of personality and she was ultimately on her way to Hollywood. Currently a full time SAG/AFTRA Actress, Model and Host Nikiva Dionne offers an unparalleled work ethic and a learning spirit that makes her a desirable new talent. Nikiva Dionne made her network television debut Fall 2015 in the Season 2 premiere of the CW's hit show, 'Jane the Virgin' as a Nurse. You can also catch Nikiva on CBS in January 2016 in an episode of CSI Cyber as Connie Abbott and in ABC's much anticipated second season of Secret's and Lies as Tina Sawyer. In her own words Nikiva Dionne attributes her potential to "Born and raised in Baltimore I saw talent all around me with no outlet. I watched some of that talent die. I watched some of it written off as a childhood dream. My mother pushed me to leave my comfort zone. In moving to New York I realized dreams didn't die because you grew up, they died because you gave up or because they weren't nurtured and supported. I learned how much the world had to offer but also how competitive it would be. I got smarter, stronger, and more hungry. I began aspiring for things I once never knew existed. There (NY) I learned I could compete and how to do it. No longer afraid of my dreams I embraced them and headed to Hollywood. I'm living my dream. Once God puts his hand on you, you just have to move and sometimes that means literally move and go into a land where HE will show you."
