Biography:

Natalia is a second year from the greater New York City area. She became musically aware when her mother first tried to sing her a lullaby before bed. Terrorized by the out of tune notes, she covered her mom's mouth, pleading that she stop. Soon after she began taking piano lessons but quit for the violin after seeing her brother play Bartok in orchestra. At age seven, after having been forced to belt a High School Musical ballad at one too many weddings, she enrolled in classical singing lessons.

Natalia is aware that she is rather tall for a soprano, however she attributes her high notes to the thinner air at her altitude.

Overall, Natalia appreaciates 66 degree weather, Radiohead, crunchy chord progressions, Rachmaninoff, documentaries, tri omega beta, and arguing for the sake of arguing.

She hopes to touch the surface of Antarctica before it melts...
