Nadeen Elkhaldi is a sophomore at Oak Hills high school and a first time writer for The Tartan. Born and raised in the west side of Cincinnati. Coming from a similarly strong hearted mother, Elkhaldi believes that one shouldn’t suffer in silence; rather, to fight for what you believe in and never shy away when faced with conflict. She’s included in the school’s book club and after graduation she hopes to pursue a career as an author in fiction. She’s currently in the process of writing a fantasy novel about war and reclamation. We wish her nothing but good luck in what life offers her!
