As our very first FAMU Pitch Star, Nadia set herself apart from day one with a strategic, self-driven approach to landing her internship, and then maximized every opportunity, from completing our pre-professional program to joining major industry conferences and media events.

Beyond PR, Nadia is the host of “The Renaissance Exchange” podcast where she’s interviewed top artists like Fridayy, Mariah the Scientist, and Lola Brooke, and serves as a media correspondent for Sheen Magazine, conducting interviews with celebrities and high-profile leaders in entertainment. Her passion for storytelling, authenticity, and creating meaningful conversations shines through in everything she does as she continues to rise in her career. You won’t want to miss how she’s built it, through a unique combination of consistency, intentional follow-up, and disciplined execution.

  • Pivot instead of panicking: Stay flexible with travel and setbacks.
  • Personalize every pitch so it feels tailored, not templated.
  • Rework a “no” to a “yes” with a stronger, timely angle.
  • Follow up consistently: Persistence matters—don’t give up too early.
  • Build rapport before interviews with a quick pre-chat to ease nerves and create a natural connection
