Bride
For those that do not know me well! I am Natalie, the Bride, I am getting married a month before my 25th birthday! I absolutely love to travel and hope my work and life in general leads to a lot of trips. I also do really enjoy painting when I am stressed even if my painting skills are subpar! I am in my third year of getting my PhD in biomedical engineering and do research primarily on head impacts in youth and high school age groups.
