💙What do you love most about working at SWU?
I love getting to know the students, working with them in various capacities, and leading a discipleship group where we dig into God’s Word together and wrestle with how it applies to our everyday life.
☕️What is your favorite Blue Hill drink?
I’m a little strange and an avid tea drinker… I either get an earl grey tea with a bit of almond milk or a chai tea bag in some frothed almond milk!
🐘What is a fun fact about you that most people may not know?
Maybe people wouldn’t know that I spent close to a month in Bangladesh several years ago on a mission where my cousins were building a new hospital.  I was deeply impacted by the missionaries as well as the local workers who showed unbelievable stamina and grace in the face of unimaginable odds.  One fun fact from that trip is that in a van on the middle of a 8-10 lane highway that was complete and total chaos, an elephant, another traveler on said highway, reached into our van and gave me a kind of kiss… A startling and memorable moment for sure 😊

We love Natasha and are blessed to have her family a part of #TeamSWU!
