Niz Goz
“Elegance Through Every Chapter”
Niz Goz was born in San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco, Mexico, and came to the United States at five. After her parents separated and her father left, she was raised by her aunt alongside five girls, including her sisters. Born without a hand, her aunt worked tirelessly to provide for them and taught Niz a lesson she carries to this day: there is always a way forward.
As a child, Niz spent hours sketching clothes and creating gowns for her Barbie dolls, dreaming of a future in fashion. Today, she works as a Radiologic Technologist, raises her daughter as a single mother, and continues to pursue modeling and fashion. Her path has taken unexpected turns, but she remains devoted to the dreams that first inspired her.
