Hailing from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, Masha is a very soft spoken girl and the favourite of her friends and teachers. Her passion in life is to do things differently and strongly believes in the proverb, “Take the path less travelled and the world will follow you”. Presently she is doing her II year B.E in Electrical and Electronics from SSN College of Engineering (NIF received her entries when she was still in school). Masha, passionate towards science, started designing science models from the age of 9. She is also a very talented dancer and an artist.
Her father, N. Kaja Nazeemudeen is a government servant and her mother, M.Sumaya Begam is a house wife. Insha Nazeem is her younger sister studying in VI standard. Family has been a strong support for Masha. Her parents never bothered about the expenses on her projects and her travels to different places for competitions, though it was a considerable portion of their income. Besides the prize money and sponsorship, their parents have spent close to Rs 5 lakhs from their pockets till now to bring her up to this stage.
