Naida Margaret Cole (born October 28, 1974 in Durham, North Carolina, U.S.) is a Canadian-American concert pianist who left a successful career as a recording artist and touring musician in 2007 to pursue medicine.
She is currently an attending anesthesiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Cole's website and Facebook pages state that she is a Toronto native; additionally, the personal site points out that Cole is dividing her time between the two disciplines, rather than abandoning the one outright for the other.
