About Me

My mom named me Natalie but calls me Trouble. I call myslef Natalia - it sounds better (but I kind of like Trouble too). For me, learning is one of the most important parts of living. I love my friends and feel very blessed to live the life that I do. I love to travel and experience as much of the world around me as possible - there is so much in life to experience! Open mindedness, creativity, and personal drive/passions are very important to me. I strive for my impact on the world to be positive.
