Former Miss North Carolina USA 2010, Nadia Shirin Moffett, is an active leader in North Carolina.  Nadia, who represented the state in the nationally televised Miss USA Pageant in 2010, traveled statewide to countless public schools inspiring thousands of students to be intentional about their lives and reach their potential.    

 

Prior to passing the crown, Nadia founded The Queen’s Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that is now state-wide serving under-served middle and high school girls to prepare them for higher education and leadership.  As Executive Director of The Queen’s Foundation, Nadia has led the organization to raise over a half a million dollars in donations for program sponsorships to keep the program fee-free for the young women the organization serves.  

 

The Queen’s Foundation now reaches over 200 girls in North Carolina in seven counties with continued expansion, has awarded over 50 scholarships, placed girls in over 80 high school internships and has exemplary success rates in ensuring first generation young women are admitted to college.  Under her leadership, Nadia facilitated the creation of regional– based leadership teams that empower the organization to expand the program sustainably and increase the number of girls served. Her work has resulted in enlisting over 200 volunteers and over 100 corporate and community partnerships to provide funding and leadership support to the regions the organization serves.  A graduate from The University of North Carolina Greensboro, where she earned her bachelors in Business Marketing & Information Technology, as well as a graduate of High Point University where she completed her Masters in Nonprofit Leadership, Nadia has dedicated her career to serve North Carolina girls and families.  

 

A member of Toastmasters International, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and a former Leadership Path Manager for American Express Company, Nadia has earned several awards and recognition for leadership and service and was named one of Triad Business Journal’s 40 Leaders Under Forty for 2013.  

 

Currently residing in Greensboro, NC, Nadia’s mission is to continue to highlight the challenges girls are facing and grow The Queen’s Foundation by getting women involved.
