Nadine McCoy
 |
Born and raised in East Germany, from which, she and her family escaped via Hungary in early 1989 at only 11 years old. It had been her parent's life-long dream and greatest wish to provide her with opportunity and the ability of choosing a life she wanted to live instead of a government dictating a life for her; which is exactly the reason why Nadine is as dedicated as can be and above all passionate about helping other women reach their goals and dreams and not let anything stand in their way.
Nadine holds a Degree in Business Administration, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design and Architecture, while living in Germany she was a Specialist in Wholesale and International Trade and is fluent in English and in German. She is the recipient of the Design of Excellence Award from ASID - The American Society of Interior Designers and can be seen in the home renovation TV show Fix It and Finish It with Antonio Sabato Jr., where she transformed a neglected storage area into a beautiful, efficient office space.
