At 14 years old, Nadia created the Teen Choreographers Showcase that
inspired young people to choreograph ballet, jazz and tap pieces that
were performed in professional theater houses in Southern California.
During that time she studied at the Music and Arts Conservatory of
Santa Barbara where she took classes in music theory, poetry, art
history and much more. She worked as an actress in commercials and
theater productions and wrote educational one act plays for a company
called Teen Theater that toured California to teach young people about
drug abuse, STDs and other cutting edge provocative issues. To this
day, Nadia has a passion for education and a creating opportunity for
young people and volunteers with the Young Story Tellers Foundation.
Upon graduation from high school she moved to Los Angeles and began
studying acting and directing with Milton Katselas. Simultaneously, she
began college studying Visual Anthropology at USC (the study of the
visual documentation of humans and their culture.) Nadia used her
talents as a director and her education from USC to create a multimedia
website that focused on Iran where she photographed and documented the
tradition of dance in Persian culture. During her years in college she
also traveled to Belize on an archaeological excavation at Dos
Barbaras. After college Nadia attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic
Arts in London where she studied and performed Shakespeare, Jacobean
tragedy and Restoration comedy. Nadia is on the committee of the
T'Oscars through Brits in LA; a yearly festival that pokes fun at the
Oscars. She has performed stand up at around Los Angeles including The Comedy Store and The Improv.
