Natasha found her beat covering the early days of the Web, then referred to as the Information Highway. Recognized as one of Canada’s first high tech journalists, Natasha was a web reporter for national publications such as The Globe and Mail and Chatelaine Magazine.

As an instructor, she has taught the intricacies of the Web to students enrolled in government-funded initiatives through the YMCA, developed a course on digital journalism for the Art Institute of Vancouver, taught Web PR & Writing at Langara College, and currently teaches Social Media Networking at Simon Fraser University.
At Peak Natasha advises organizations on how to get social with the public using the most effective web communications tools.
A sought after speaker on all things web, she regularly gives speeches at conferences, most recently to the Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS), the Networks of Centres of Excellence (NCE), and the Technology Council of North America (TECNA).
Natasha graduated from Concordia University, where she studied journalism and political science.
When Natasha’s not on the Web, she’s shopping with her daughters, riding on a classic motorcycle with her husband, or stretching in a yoga class.
