My name is Natalie. I&#8217;m NY born and raised, but Florida has been my home for the last 10 years. It&#8217;s very surreal to acknowledge that so much time has passed since I have left my childhood home and embarked onto this stage in my life. I went to UCF for my undergrad and decided to call Orlando my home after graduating. I work as a Technical Writer close to downtown and I live in a sunny, cozy apartment with my partner. (My cat is a big fan of this place, as well!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am also a figure skater! This was a hobby I took on after graduating college. It was my childhood dream to skate, and thought that the train has left the station a long time ago. How wrong I was! So many adults learn to figure skate, and I have met an incredibly supportive group of people who are all in it together! My goal is to enter into a more competitive skating scene, rather than simply performing at my home rink. I&#8217;ve also played tennis and did MMA, all on a competitive level so I feel like this is the next step in my sport. But, at the end of the day, skating brings me so much joy! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also really love baking with sourdough. I made a sourdough starter last year ( a very common quarantine activity) and began making endless loaves with it. I make one every week to have breakfast with, it&#8217;s really amazing! On top of that, I&#8217;ve made sourdough waffles, buscuits, bagels, and crackers. The possibilities are endless! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/664BC231-49FA-4F4F-9DE0-72470BD4FAA5-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"One of the many loaves I've made\" class=\"wp-image-4137\" style=\"width:368px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/664BC231-49FA-4F4F-9DE0-72470BD4FAA5-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/664BC231-49FA-4F4F-9DE0-72470BD4FAA5-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/664BC231-49FA-4F4F-9DE0-72470BD4FAA5-768x1365.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/664BC231-49FA-4F4F-9DE0-72470BD4FAA5-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/664BC231-49FA-4F4F-9DE0-72470BD4FAA5-1152x2048.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/torch.cci.fsu.edu\/~lis5313\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/664BC231-49FA-4F4F-9DE0-72470BD4FAA5.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the many loaves I&#8217;ve made! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone!
