Backstory
At four, Natasha lined up the neighbourhood kids and charged them each a nickel for the privilege of seeing her pet rabbit. At nine, she announced she was going to own, not a store, but an entire mall. At 13, she packed her bags determined to strike out on her own (quickly realizing life at home was pretty good). That early entrepreneurial spirit and passion for what she believes caused those around her to proclaim, “you should be a lawyer.”
An interesting tidbit
Natasha grew up with a member of a famous rock band; the grandson of a legendary Toronto Maple Leaf; and the cousin of the greatest NHL player ever. She also went to the same high school as a famous movie actor.
