What are you most proud of throughout your career?

Seeing the growth and development of anyone that I work with. 

In honor of International Women’s Month, who is a woman that inspires you?

My mother - she taught me no matter what I do, I should always strive to be the best. As I was choosing a career, she said, “Nadia, even if you choose to be a pizza maker, always do it with pride and be the BEST pizza maker you can.”

What advice would you give to a woman starting her career?

Don’t get discouraged, any progress is progress. It’s not a race so enjoy the ride and follow your instincts.

Proud to work for an organization that lives our values each and every day. “We run the world.”
