ONE MINUTE WITH NATASHA

WUMCRC: “What are some advantages of working in FPSE?”

NATASHA: “There is something beautiful in taking one of the most historical districts in the Midwest region and help bringing it back to life. Where others see blight and distress, the courageous ones see opportunity. I like being among the courageous visionaries to help spearhead a new era of city life unlike any other.”

WUMCRC: “What do you enjoy most about living in St. Louis?”

NATASHA: “The history, the food, the culture, and the opportunity.”

WUMCRC: “If you could have one super power, what would it be and why?”

NATASHA: “Teleportation, I can be anywhere at any time.”
