Natascia is in her second year of a Master's degree in Biochemistry at the University of Alberta and aims to go into medicine. She is passionate about reminding herself and others of the importance of mental health and practicing self-compassion. She loves connecting with others through volunteering and community initiatives like Jack Ride! If she is not in the lab, she is probably reading, spending time outdoors, finding a little free library, or sending her friends videos of squirrels.
