My name is Natasha Nanda, and I am currently in my junior year at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.  I was born and raised in the Bay Area where my mom, dad, and younger sister, Anjuli, currently live with my dog Sketch. 

When I was three, my parents enrolled me in ballet and tap lessons, and I have danced my way through grade school, high school, and even my first year in college, having taken classes over the years in ballet, tap, and jazz.  Over the years I have also been very involved with my community's local chapter of National Charity League, which gave me the opportunity to volunteer with children's programs and sparked my interest in becoming a teacher.  In addition, I love watching other performing arts, traveling, reading, and being with friends and family. 

One of the best experiences I have had through USC was my semester studying Spanish abroad in Madrid, Spain.  I really value the opportunity I had to immerse myself in a foreign culture, and the semester was a huge learning experience about the world and myself.

My time thus far at USC has been amazing, and I am so grateful for all the wonderful people I have met and the terrific friends that I have made.  I am so excited to see what the coming years will bring!
