Natalie Handford

Natalie Handford is a first year and a writer for Her Campus UVA. She's interesting in pursuing literature and philosophy/religion and seeing how these fields help with social and political issues. Within literature, she's particularly loved writing and analyzing poetry.

Beyond Her Campus, Natalie is a part of the Civic Cornerstone Fellowship, where students with different political beliefs come together and have open civil discussions. She believes that it's important to have these conversations, and political beliefs shouldn't be a taboo topic. Natalie has also recently begun volunteering for the Charlottesville SPCA.

Outside of school, Natalie loves playing tennis and the piano. She's always been interested in music theory and has recently been learning how to DJ. She loves being outside and hiking, especially in the summer. But when it's cold, she likes to hang out with friends and rewatch Sex in the City or Netflix documentaries. Natalie also likes to write, especially journaling her thoughts each day.
