Her and mother Nazim arrived to the United states in the 1990's, Nadia was a four month old baby in her mother's arms when they traveled over here with a tourist visa. Nineteen years later, Nadia is on her way to finishing her studies in psychology and become a drug researcher. Nazim, her mother is a wife of a cab driver and mother of three U.S. Citizen children.
