Nadia Bashir - WCMH: News, Weather, and Sports for Columbus, Ohio

Nadia Bashir is a digital journalist for NBC4.

Prior to joining the NBC4 team, Bashir worked as a reporter and fill-in anchor at WFFT-TV in Ft. Wayne, IN.

Bashir, originally from Cincinnati, graduated from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University. She also received her juris doctorate from Salmon P. Chase College of Law at Northern Kentucky University.

She was also admitted to the bar in Ohio and Kentucky.

Bashir says most stories are memorable – each in their own way.

"I really enjoyed telling the story of an Iraq war veteran with severe brain injuries who used Nintendo to rehabilitate himself. He is such an amazing person," she said.

Bashir is active with the Ohio State Bar Association and says that if she weren't working in television, she would be practicing law.

Bashir's first job was as a receptionist at a fitness club.
