About

Nadia's first breaths would be taken in a small village known as Lisbon in Portugal.  At the age of five, the Harmsens moved to Cape Cod, MA where Nadia would first fall in love with donuts, a staple in her diet to this day. As a wee fourth grader at John F. Peebles Elementary School, she would shatter color barriers by starring as Mary Poppins. Her parents and the townsfolk still speak of that performance. This was followed up by a gender bending performance as Arthur in King Arthur. Sadly, homework and lacrosse got in the way, and Nadia wouldn't find her way back to the stage until college where she performed in the Vagina Monologues. 

While semi-retired in Hawaii, Nadia focused on establishing her base tan and took acting classes at Diamond Head Theatre. She was cast in Equus as the Nurse and one of the horses, earning her the nickname "Norse". She moved to Brooklyn at the end of August and has been performing and honing her craft.
