Whiz Kid: A Profile of a Special Youngster

Patch Whiz Kid/Team/Club of the Week Nadia Williams:

○      Member of: Loma Linda Academy

○      Accomplishment: Selected as a young model for Nordstrom.

○      Key to Awesomeness: Nadia, 8, is among a group of youngsters who will take to the runway to show off Nordstrom's latest fashion. “I’d like to be a model,” Nadia said. “But I also want to be an OBGyn.” Her mother Dea Davis-Williams says Nadia has always had the very mature ambition of becoming a doctor. “She wants to help people.” But it should be fun to step into the fashion world for a bit, mother and daughter said. “It helps that she is very outgoing,” Williams said.
