Associate Director of Admission - Recruitment
Natasha is a proud Lincoln High grad, “Go Abes”, who was born and raised in the City of Destiny (Tacoma for those who don’t know). Her favorite part about living here is all of the great pockets the city has to offer whether you’re a history buff, want to get outdoors, watch a concert, or enjoy amazing food from a variety of local eateries.
One of her favorite things to do is paddleboard, but if she has to be on land, she prefers hanging out at the Ruston Way waterfront. It’s both peaceful and entertaining, offers great food options, and a nice long trail to walk it all off with her two blue-nose Pitties, Brooklyn and Harlem.
Natasha wasn’t quite sure how to navigate her college search since she was the first one to go in her family, but she eventually figured it out. She loves helping students understand the ins and outs of academia. She believes that a formal education creates access for students and opportunities for personal growth that they miss out on by jumping right into adulthood. The more students learn how to navigate the systems they interact with everyday, the more they can make decisions that help them thrive and pivot in their future. Natasha is currently amping up to be a supportive parent to her daughter (a current high school senior) – so she not only is here to help, she understands what you may be going through.
Graduated from: The Evergreen State College-Tacoma, Bachelor of Arts with Emphases in Communications & Sociology
Tacoma Community College, Associate of Arts Degree in Human Services
Natasha works with students from: Clover Park, Franklin Pierce, and Peninsula school districts; Chief Leschi Schools; Pierce County private schools; Clallam, Jefferson and Kitsap counties.
She also works with students from California.
Easy Conversation Starters:
- She’s into photography and really enjoys taking photos of landscapes and people.
- She inherited over 2,000 vinyl records from her father, so every once in awhile she sits back and goes back in time to an older sound.
- Natasha’s pretty laid back and is the kind of friend who’s happy to go on a hike, camping, out for brunch, or just lounge around her friends’ houses all day.
