Natasha is a former business analyst turned outdoor adventurer and creative non-fiction writer. Her expertise in the outdoors comes from living in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range of California, where she has thru-hiked the John Muir and Tahoe Rim Trails, completed the Mammoth Trailfest 50k, and circumnavigated Lake Tahoe my kayak and bike.

Although she loves an audacious adventure, her days and weeks are peppered with the smaller and sweeter moments outside, like walking her dog in the local meadow, and camping next to hot springs with her best friends. These days, she spends most of her writing time copy editing for author, journalist and National Geographic Explorer, James E. Mills, and editing her own memoir.
