Bio

Nadia is a 23 year-old "old soul" from Brooklyn, New York. In 1994, at age eleven, she founded The Victorian Hands Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that provides youth voluntary assistance and companionship to the elders of all communities. The organization was named in dedication to the life of her late aunt Victoria. T.V.H.F strives to provide a support system (through various communication efforts) for the elderly who are never visited by their family, and for those without family. Nadia represents T.V.H.F. as the President & Founder.

She has been featured in publications such as The New York Times, The NY Daily News and College Bound Magazine. She has also been interviewed on TV stations like NY1, New12 and on radio stations such as XM Radio in Washington D.C and WBAI in New York.

In 2002, Nadia was invited to the White House for a conference on volunteerism with John Bridgeland, the former head of Freedom Corps and White House staff. That same year, Nadia co-starred in a public service announcement that reached over 10,000 viewers in movie theaters nationwide and on cable television and was recognized as the 2002 Youth Leader of the Year by New Light Leadership Coalition, Inc.

Nadia has also received several awards: Champions In the Community Award, The Fleet Youth Entrepreneur Award, The Spirit of Hope Award, The Shining Star Award, The Osborn Elliot Community Leadership Award and the Bank of America Local Hero Award.

    Artist Connect: Planning For Better tomorrow

    Greetings from United Arts Society!!!

    There is a wide range of art forms that most of us aren’t aware of. The realization of the need to bridge this gap has led us to found the United Arts Society. Through this society, we plan to fulfill a noble dream – a dream where everyone is educated about the various forms of art and is also provided every opportunity to further their interests in any chosen field.
    UAS has networked with a huge number of artists from various fields of art who have come together to develop a forum which aims to restore, preserve and nurture art. The goal of this initiative is to ensure primary education in art and to revitalize its current state, under professional guidance.
    UAS is sensitive towards the condition of art and artists. With our constant market study and strategic approach we are trying to find new work avenues and opportunities for artists in areas of performing, visual and fine arts so that they can continue to work in art field with respect and glory. We call this initiative UNARSO.
    We would like to get associated with artists and art organizations to provide a plethora of opportunities, i.e. managing assignments, organizing events, assistance and facilitating. We are looking forward to learning from your experiences and working with you.
    We would love to share our vision and dreams with you. Please let us know if it would be possible for you to meet us in our OPEN FORUM MEETINGS happening every Sunday’s at 10am at Time out Café, 5th floor, Sona Towers , #71, Millers Road .
    Kindly fill the following form so that you name could be updated in our internation database on our Artist Connect Portal.

    Hey Nadia! Great to hear from you. I'm still in India - here for the whole summer helping to launch Youth Venture in Mumbai. It's great to be here!

    Hope you're having a good summer and that it's not too hot and humid in New York!
