Nadia arrived in Hong Kong nine years ago. Having separated from her parents during their exile from their home country, she was able to reunite with her family and find safety in Hong Kong. 

Although her identity as a refugee prevents her from enjoying equal opportunities and status in society, Nadia loves Hong Kong and treats it as her home. For her, it is the place where she learned to become who she is, and where she strives to discern her purpose in life. In order to become a committed Hong Konger, she devotes much of her time addressing issues related to the refugee community, engaging in political and social discussion, and doing her part to make Hong Kong a livable city for everyone.

According to Nadia, everyone has the right to be included, and find a sense of belonging in any given society. 

This belief has guided her to become an advocate for refugees and asylum seekers, especially youths. Considering her personal experiences, Nadia recognises the importance of socially integrating people with disabilities, and affording them greater rights. Furthermore, having witnessed and experienced trauma, isolation, and lack of acceptance into society, she is eager to raise awareness of the emotional and psychological turmoil, which often manifest as disabilities, that refugees face.

Understanding the helplessness that members of the refugee community often grapple with, Nadia advocates for education sponsorships to help refugees gain access to tertiary education, and lobbies lawmakers to change policies towards refugees and asylum seekers in Hong Kong. In the past, she has approached a number of local and overseas universities, and encouraged them to admit students who come from refugee backgrounds. Through the Fellowship Program, Nadia hopes to empower herself to continue speaking out, and learn different ways to lobby for change from professional mentors and activists. 

Besides her work as a paralegal at Clifford Chance, Nadia has previously worked as an education ambassador and volunteered at the Christian Action Centre for Refugees. During her volunteering experience, she worked with other changemakers to campaign for tertiary education for refugees. Some of the work is done in The Minority Initiative, where she is one of the volunteers organising events to bridge gaps between ethnic minorities and locals. She also served as a community ambassador at SparkRaise Limited. Nadia likes to spend her free time watching TEDx Talks and old television shows.
