Hi, I’m Natalia. Thanks for visiting.
Corporeally I'm a little hard to keep track of as my husband and I travel a lot and tend to put down roots for months or a year at a time. Mentally and emotionally (and pretty recently physically) I'm in Canada, Germany, the U.K., Japan and Korea. Although, of course, the heart knows little of national border lines.
I used to research and develop videoconference curriculum and help organize events and tours at a natural history museum, now I'm developing publications for museums and managing social media marketing for NYT bestselling authors. I’m also writing a novel about foxes, Japanese mythology and graffiti set in Montreal, Canada.
My interests mainly revolve around meaning-making and the actions people are driven to after they make meaning. Museums are places of meaning-making, and books are a different, but in many ways similar type of meaning-making place. I'm passionate about communities that bond together over the meaning they make, whether that be the roles of arts, humanities and science, multiculturalism, or activism. I strongly value authentic and tolerant examinations of truth and beliefs, and I am passionate about eco-responsibility. I believe it is urgently important to try to move beyond anthropocentric attitudes. But it's also important to have a wide cultural IQ.
My other interests are taking courses (I'm compiling a list of museum-industry relevant courses here), arts & crafts (sometimes I update my instagram @natmadethis with what I'm working on), volunteering with community events (like VidCon, the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word, or local events like charity jogs), and kung fu and hip hop dancing (although not at the same time).
Give me a shout, ask me a question, or connect up with me for a project. I would love to meet you!
