Natasha Mihell
Outreach, Engagement, and Digital Strategy Advisor

Natasha Mihell is a writer, soprano, and graduate of UBC’s Political Science (Honours) program. She has four years experience working in the non-profit sector, co-founding and co-directing Equal Voice’s first West Coast campus club branch at UBC in 2015 and leading successful fundraising campaigns as Indigo Langley’s Love of Reading Champion in 2019. Natasha first gained an understanding of the good that non-profits can do from spending seven years as part of a choral non-profit in Edmonton, Alberta.

Natasha believes wholeheartedly in equine therapy as a means to unravelling one’s knots and uncovering one’s personal truth(s). She credits an old, proud chestnut sire named Prince that she rode when she was little, with helping to teach her the value of being authentically herself.

After 10 months as VTEA’s Promotions and Engagement Manager and interim Volunteer Coordinator, Natasha now remotely advises Valley as she pursues her Master of Public Administration at the University of Victoria.
