Nadia graduated from Vassar College with a major in Biology and a minor in Hispanic Studies. While at school, you could usually find her wading through streams for ecology research, rehearsing in the dance studio, or enjoying mozzarella sticks in the dining hall. At Vassar, she worked as a peer tutor in the Quantitative Reasoning Center, helping tutor physics, chemistry, biology, and math. It was there that she fell in love with STEM education.

She enjoys teaching dance, skating, and searching for the best mac and cheese recipe.
