Natasha’s Top 3 Pieces of Career Advice:

Most Fun Job I’ve Had: Reflecting on my career, the most enjoyable roles were those filled with camaraderie and a shared mission. Nationwide’s culture of integrating fun into our work means that most of my positions here have been a joy. Volunteering with fellow Nationwiders, fostering teamwork, and striving towards common goals have all contributed to a fulfilling and engaging work environment. Ultimately, finding joy in your job often comes down to the people you work with and a culture that celebrates inclusivity and positivity.

Best Mentor/Sponsor In My Life: The most influential mentors in my life have been my parents. Their example of diligence, perseverance, and kindness have been a guiding light. Observing their leadership in academia and pastoral work over three decades has taught me invaluable lessons about leading with excellence both at work and at home.

Best Career Advice I’ve Received: Remember that you have earned your seat at the table. Never doubt your self-worth and the value of your voice. This advice has deeply resonated with me, particularly during moments of self-doubt or when impostor syndrome lurks. Always remember the hard work that has brought you to where you are. Your unique perspective is invaluable, and self-belief is the cornerstone of success.
