Natasha McCarthy

Natasha was born and raised in Nanaimo, BC by a strong, single mother of two. She grew very close with her aunt throughout her childhood, and after her traumatic passing, Natasha chose to walk away from her culture. Natasha struggled throughout high school, being told she would never amount to anything. In her early 20s, she met the love of her life and moved to Campbell River, BC. Her partner encouraged her to go back to school to pursue her dreams—she graduated on the Deans’ list from the HCA program at NIC. She found happiness again, returned to her culture, and began writing.
