A former teacher, Natalie's Master's thesis in Education looked at bringing social justice issues into the classroom to foster active, engaged citizens. She brings this passion for education and human connection with her to CPJ and looks forward to building collaborative learning communities that foster solidarity, compassion, and justice. Natalie is grateful for the influence of many different Christian traditions on her journey of faith.
