Natasha is an Air Force veteran, a senior project manager, and community leader originally from Venezuela. Raised just outside Philadelphia, she has called the Washington, DC metropolitan area home since 2012 and currently resides in Northern Virginia with her wife, Daniela.

Natasha holds a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a master’s degree in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics. Her professional background in healthcare project management, combined with her military experience, has shaped her passion for leadership, building meaningful connections, and creating spaces where people feel seen and valued.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, Natasha is deeply passionate about Latin culture, music, and dance as a way to bring people together. As an immigrant who grew up in the United States, she understands what it feels like to be far from your home country and long for a sense of belonging. She believes that music, culture, and shared experiences have the power to reconnect people with their roots while creating an “away from home” feeling for those who miss where they came from.

She is especially passionate about creating welcoming spaces for the LGBTQ+ community and anyone looking to find connection, celebrate their identity, and build the kind of community she wishes had existed when she was growing up.
