As a Community Representative for CRWA, Natasha shares critical information with the public about Charles River Watershed and the work of CRWA, tailoring her message to meet people where they are—with their unique needs, desires, concerns, and interests. She strives to create collaborative partnerships among people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives for the benefit of the watershed itself and for all the communities along the Charles.

Prior to working at CRWA, Natasha successfully led an effort to clean up and gain state registration for a critical wetland ecosystem in Framingham connected to the Sudbury River Watershed, rescued and rebuilt the only remaining 4-H Livestock Club in Metrowest Boston, and worked on anti-corruption research to help root out issues at local, state and federal levels. She holds two BAs from Brandeis University and has over two decades of experience as a Software Quality Engineer and Data Analyst.

When not working, Natasha loves spending time with her family, playing with her dogs, hiking, gardening, writing science fiction, and reading heaps of books.
