BRAND NARRATIVE STRATEGY

COLLABORATIONS | COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Nadia has collaborated on a wide range of projects with international organizations, including the United Nations and CARICOM, and has held many leadership roles in several NGOs.
Her commitment to community outreach began in her youth, where she was an active leader in her church youth group and in organizations such as the Red Cross, volunteering as a certified first aid instructor, trained counselor, and event organizer for disaster relief efforts.
She has been a featured guest speaker and facilitator for numerous workshops serving diverse audiences, ranging from seminars and schools, to programs in rural Indigenous communities.
MUSIC COMPOSITION + CREATIVE APPROACH
Her background in music composition influences her approach to creative projects, with a strong sense of storytelling.
Her passion for music began in early childhood and eventually led her to study music composition at university.
Growing up in the Caribbean and being deeply rooted in its culture and heritage—musical influences such as reggae and dancehall, with reggae being her favorite genre—combined with her university studies in classical music, jazz, and music theory, gave her a diverse musical skill set.
