Natalie McKinnis

Program Manager

Favorite Thing About Seattle: I'm a foodie and I think Seattle has the best restaurants; the locally-sourced, fresh food is delicious and creates an unparalleled dining experience.

Advice For New Students: When you first arrive, get involved with an activity that brings you comfort AND challenge yourself with something new. I learned and grew the most when I stepped outside of the scope of my high school views and expectations for college.
