Natasha serves as the OneReef Yap Partnership Coordinator. Her passion for the environment began at an early age, when she observed both of her parents working in conservation with communities in Yap and throughout Micronesia. Her father, in particular, taught her the value of environmental stewardship and how it is inextricably linked to the culture of her people. She earned a Global Environmental Studies degree from Sophia University in Japan. She hopes to use her academic knowledge to help support community needs at home while also building her community engagement skills. After many years away from home, Natasha enjoys spending time with her family, particularly her father, conversing in the local language, working on home projects, and learning/relearning aspects about her island’s customs and culture.
