Biography

Nadia was born in Birmingham 1974 to a half Saudi/half Egyptian father and Slovenian mother. She attended an Arabic school. When in high school she started taking drama classes, which was where she discovered her love for acting.

She was able to reconnect with her passion for acting when she and her uncle decided to re-create the play "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" with a group of non-professional actors. Due to her drama background, Nadia was able to train the actors on how to give a theatrical performance. She also re-wrote the play and localized it. The play was performed underground, which allowed the female actors to join the males on stage, to which Nadia had a cameo appearance.

Her first opportunity to act in front of the camera came from a popular drama series called Tekki in 2014. This opened the opportunity for her to work with UTurn, which was an online channel that created comedic content for Saudi youth. She received numerous roles in various drama and comedic series in addition to films.
