Nasser began her career with RogersTV before accepting a position with Newstalk 1010 in 1999. There she started as a producer and worked her way up into a reporting role. Next, Nasser made the move to Toronto 1 where she worked as a journalist for two years before joining \/A\\ Channel News in Barrie, reporting for the Toronto Bureau. In 2006, she joined Citytv as a reporter and later became a weekend anchor. Prior to her position with Global News, Nasser was an anchor and reporter for CP24.<\/p>\n

Nasser has been informing viewers across the GTA for nearly two decades. Among her career highlights are the Toronto\u2019s SARS outbreak in 2003, G20 Summit in 2010 and the Toronto 18 terror trials. She\u2019s a political veteran having covered municipal, provincial and federal elections.<\/p>\n

She was also the recipient of the RTNDA Sam Ross award for her viral commentary \u201cWhat if the fighting in Aleppo was happening in Toronto?\u201d in 2017. The video was viewed 3.5 million times and used as a teaching aid in schools to explain the Syrian conflict.<\/p>\n

A graduate of Ryerson University in Radio and Television Arts, she also attended the University of Westminster in London, England for European Media Studies and later interned for CNN in New Delhi, India.<\/p>\n

Nasser considers herself lucky to work in journalism and credits her father with her curiosity and passion for current events. She always knew she wanted to go into broadcasting and fondly remembers her first paying job and thinking, \u201cI can\u2019t believe they are paying me, I would do this for free!\u201d<\/p>\n

When not reporting on the day\u2019s headlines, Nasser spends her time volunteering in the community. She regularly emcees community events and works with the Aga Khan Foundation, an organization that provides sustainable solutions for developing countries. She also sits on the Board of Directors for the University Health Network\u2019s Arthritis Research Foundation and hosts their Power of Movement yoga fundraiser annually.<\/p>\n

Nasser lives in the GTA with her husband, son, and daughter. She can often be found exploring the city, trying new restaurants or doing yoga.<\/p>\n
