After graduating with a BA & MA in Literae Humaniores (also known as Greats) in 2011 from the University of Oxford, in the UK, Natasha decided to pack her bags and hop on a plane to New Zealand to pursue a sporting career. Having developed a taste for athletics, namely cross-country, cycling and triathlon, whilst at Oxford, she had been easily drawn to the complementary, pleasant distraction, which sport provided from studying. Natasha captained both the Oxford University Cross Country Club and the Oxford University Cycling Club, and was awarded a Full Blue in both Cross Country and Triathlon alongside a Half Blue in Cycling. She found her studies benefitted greatly from sport and from serving on several committees, including the Women’s Blues Committee.
Having always lived by and advocated a winning formula of music, sport, drama and academics, whilst boarding at Cheltenham College, in Gloucestershire, UK, she had the pleasure and privilege of laying down the foundations of each of these disciplines.
‘Variety is the spice of life.’
With a passion for languages, philosophy, history and logic, developed from a young age, Classics suited her perfectly at Oxford.
Natasha cultivated a particular interest in political, history, political philosophy, formal logic, philosophy of logic and language, and Latin and Ancient Greek literature and Ancient History whilst obtaining her degrees. She is also an avid reader of Ancient Greek tragedy and comedy, and believes that Shakespeare ought to stay on the curriculum for the next 1000 years!
She writes for The Spectator Australia and has written for several other international publications about various topics, from economics to education.
Recently, in 2025, she has been involved with the St Hilda’s College Association of Senior Members (ASM), helping with the drafting of funding agreements for scholarships for students wishing to pursue further studies. She is now a member of the ASM Committee and of the sub-committee, which is responsible for organising the logistics of the ASM Studentship Award.
She has also been the 2024-25 Business Manager for the Classical Association of New South Wales, which she assists with the keeping Ancient History and Classics well and truly alive for students in Australia.
Please do contact Natasha if you are looking for some direction with your own writing or studies. She is also available for business consulting services.
Currently living in Sydney, Australia, she offers a variety of services to both national and international clients: from teaching, analysis, report writing, content writing, proofreading and editing to public speaking lessons.
