Nadia Abuisnaineh was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For as long as she can remember, she always had a deep fascination with the universe. She was one of those kids in school that knew what she wanted to study in college at a very young age, and that never changed, even as she got older. Her love and enthusiasm for math and science allowed her to pursue a Bachelors of Science Degree in Astrophysics from the University of Minnesota. After graduating in 2011, Nadia dedicated her time and talents to an organization serving the youth and those in need, another promoting Islamic awareness and education, and an online Islamic University, Mishkah where she continues to work today. Her effort with these organizations taught her the meanings of community service and sacrifice toward a cause larger than herself. By providing community members with an experiential platform to seek knowledge, she enabled them to explore their culture and religious identities under world-renowned scholarship. Nadia currently resides in Mounds View, Minnesota, with her husband and two kids. She spends most of her time teaching her son and daughter how to navigate the world around them. She enjoys watching documentaries, walking around the state's many lakes, swimming, and stargazing.
