Natalya grew up in Spokane, Washington, in a house full of books and music. Her father is a poet, professor, and researcher of forgiveness and genocide. Her mother is a musician, psychologist, and servant-leadership coach. Questions of story, human nature, compassion, and resilience have been part of her world for as long as she can remember.
One of her favorite composers, Adam Guettel, wrote, “And there ain’t no answer, but only the asking forever.” Natalya holds questioning and curiosity at the center of her artistry, bringing that spirit of inquiry to her work as an actor, vocalist, and musician.
