International Success
the professional
From a young age, Nadine was recognized with local and national awards, which not only showcased her academic achievements in mathematics, science, and the humanities, but her natural leadership and ability to be a catalyst for change in every organization and community she touched. Throughout her undergraduate studies in Neuroscience, Nadine ran multiple businesses, conducted research in labs, as well as for a Think Tank that sought to bridge gaps between psychology and organizational problems. For the next decade, Nadine propelled her primary business, West Coast Education, into the largest independent educational support service and the top-rated tutoring company in Vancouver. During the pandemic, she saw an opportunity to pivot her business into an entirely virtual service, and successfully internationalized her company, which now serves clients across 29 countries. This experience inspired a year-long research project she conducted as part of her MBA in Finance, a degree she was awarded highest distinction in. She designed and executed a comprehensive study on the financial profiles of businesses that have gone global. She developed a framework to evaluate and predict globalization outcomes, which she uses in her work today to guide companies financially and strategically through the international expansion process. This research inspired her to pursue further education in neighbouring disciplines, completing a Post-graduate Certificate in Geopolitics & International Economics and a Post-graduate Diploma in Strategic Management. Today, Nadine is continuing her education in the Neurosciences, with an MSc. concentrated in Organizational Psychology and Neuroscience. Her thesis studies the innovative field of organizational neuroscience, bridging her experience with management and organizational behaviour with her technical knowledge of cognitive systems and neuroscience.
the personal
Raised in Vancouver, Canada, Nadine has always been fascinated with human and organizational behaviour, leadership, commerce, geopolitics, and travel, passions that she has managed to integrate across her professional and personal life. By the age of 30, Nadine had travelled to over 75 countries across six continents, including those off the beaten path, from Kosovo, to Bolivia, to the Kingdom of Eswatini in Subsaharan Africa. And from personally sponsoring the education and career development of a widowed Zimbabwean mother and her two children that she met in Victoria Falls in 2019, to assisting a newly landed Syrian refugee family get on their feet after a chance encounter on the streets of Vienna, Nadine is always finding ways to convert her professional platform and success into making a personal impact on others. At age 31, Nadine's success in commerce over the previous decade spoke for itself, as she announced her semi-retirement, and the following year she moved to Italy to pursue her dream of settling down in the quiet Italian countryside, riding her Vespa to the market and picking fresh tomatoes from her garden. However, despite indulging in 'La Dolce Vita' these days, Nadine still enjoys doing what she does best – helping others realize their dreams – whether it be business-owners looking to thrive in competitive markets and unlock their full potential, or students that she continues to teach and mentor towards their educational and career aspirations.
