Public Speaking
As a mixed woman of European and Indigenous background - who has lived experiences within the Child welfare system and has been deeply affected by the impacts of environmental injustice, Nadia recognizes the need for solution focused conversations. Where allyship and connection are the baseline, and having discussions that create actionable change and positive outcomes become the norm.
Nadia combines her lived experiences, love for the creative arts, and professional knowledge, to advocate for clean drinking water, mental health awareness, and environmental justice.
Nadia is also shining a light on why implementing a therapeutic wellness coach as a part of entertainment productions, is not just an asset to the film, television and commercial world, but a necessity.
