Meet Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Sadia

Hi! My name is Sadia, and I’m a second-career women’s health nurse practitioner with experience as a nurse writer, public health educator, masked baddie, and femtech consultant.

I’ve ventured into many paths over the past decade – teaching, consulting, writing, editing, loving, nursing, living. I’ve worked in public health communications, hosted workshops on reproductive and sexual health, tutored nursing students, travelled a ton, hopped in and out on Asian American activism, and spent a lot of time in the reproductive and sexual health world. For more, check out my blog!

About Nurse Sadia

Living in the United States is interesting, especially as a South Asian woman in sexual and reproductive health. I have experience as a peer sex educator, nurse writer, public speaker, and more. Presently, my day job also involves reproductive health, which I am eternally grateful for. Truthfully, I never planned on my career path going this way, but life has its way of bringing experiences to me.

I started reading about sex on my own and what it means to have sex 15 years ago. My curiosity led me to work with some cool organizations. Some of them include Planned Parenthood, Fenway Health, SaheliBoston, Advocates for Youth, the National Minority AIDS Council, and HEART Women and Girls.

I completed a Bachelors of Science in Nursing and Masters of Science in Women’s Health Nursing from Emory University. Presently, I’m a board-certified women’s health nurse practitioner and do Nurse Sadia work on the side.

I also earned a Masters in Public Health (dual concentration in Maternal and Child Health and Social and Behavioral Sciences) and Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Boston University.

Many years ago, I started thinking about the wonderful nurse practitioner who put in my IUD. She was so amazing at her job, and I never knew the difference between doctor or nurse or anything like that. But, her kindness and patience changed my life.

I researched women’s health nursing and found out about the existence of women’s health nurse practitioners. Turns out, I really liked the idea of being a women’s health nurse practitioner. I had no idea about nursing school, so I did a TON of research as I worked in public health along the way.

Women’s health, reproductive health, sexual health, communications, plain language, health equity, reproductive justice – all of it motivated me to take the plunge into nursing school.

So, welcome. What’s your story? What are you into?
