Natasha’s (she/her) passion for capturing stories was first developed in the classroom at SUNY Albany and during internships for two local papers, covering everything from student escorts to nightclub shootings in Troy. Having created elaborate stories in her head as a child growing up in Westchester County, videography became a clear way to educate and connect with the public emotionally while also providing a platform for those who are voiceless. Prior to Albany and solidifying her video journalism path later in graduate school, Natasha earned her GED and was on her way to pursue a degree in criminal justice at Dutchess Community College. With a camera in hand, she has spent time in South Africa reporting on forgotten freedom fighters of the apartheid era, xenophobia, and community change makers. She now produces meaningful shorts and has joined the ranks with HUDSY to amplify even more voices. If she’s not filming, she can be found somewhere in the woods with her dog, Meeko.
