Hi! I’m Nadia, (a.k.a the Gen Z Carrie Bradshaw.)

I’m a 22-year-old culture writer with stories in The Toronto Star, Teen Vogue, PopSugar, Canadian Dimension, Imprint, and more. I currently work as an Editorial and Marketing Assistant at The New Quarterly, one of Canada’s leading literary magazines.

Along the way, I’ve interviewed CBC Literary Prize winners, national labor experts, pop stars—and even Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai on the TIFF red carpet (that is, until my phone died mid-interview). My essays and reporting have earned recognition from The New York Times, Youth Journalism International, the Ontario Community Newspaper Awards, and the Canadian University Press.

I’m in my senior year of English Literature at the University of Waterloo. When I’m not writing, you can usually find me eating hot fudge sundaes, binging ‘90s teen dramas, or deep-diving into the history of Riot Grrrl and Top 40 pop.
