My name is Natalia and I'm a recent computer science grad from Southwestern University near Austin,Texas. I'm 22 years old and have recently relocated to NYC! I am really interested in software development, data visualizations and interactive narrative/design. I've written for FastCompany, where I covered tech and wrote code tutorials for art installations inside of FastCo.Labs. While in school, I photographed and wrote for the University's newspaper, eventually becoming the Editor In Chief of our student magazine.
These gigs have landed me interviews with Jane Goodall, the Tumblr White House Social, and led me to conferences with National Geographic on the other side of the country. I'm also the founder of the "Real People Real Beauty Campaign", a movement for positive body image. You can have many interests and be a TECHNOLOchica! I am also a 2015 recipient of the NCWIT Collegiate Award for Aspirations in Computing.
Curriculum Engineer at Codecademy
Choosing an Electronic Engineering major when I finished high school was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Technology is fun and has opened my eyes to a new world of innovation and constant learning.
