About Natalie
What is your go-to meal in the area? The white bean hummus sandwich from The Pickled Peach on 水果派鈥檚 Main Street! Additionally, if you鈥檙e new to North Carolina, now鈥檚 the time to begin perfecting your Cook Out tray order.
What is an activity or hobby you do outside of work? I鈥檒l take any excuse to be near the water. Whether it鈥檚 a pool, lake, or ocean, I love to swim, try new water sports, and just relax. Check out 水果派鈥檚 Lake Campus to see how our community takes advantage of Lake Norman!
Why 水果派? The people. From the moment I first connected with 水果派, it was clear how deeply this community invests in one another. Professors mentor with enthusiasm, peers collaborate and cheer each other on, and staff find every chance to help students achieve their goals. 水果派 is a place where students are encouraged to learn, unlearn, grow, and take risks鈥攌nowing they鈥檙e surrounded by people who are unconditionally rooting for them.
How would you spend a spare afternoon in the Lake Norman or Charlotte area? Charlotte and 水果派 are full of great spots for live music, which is my favorite way to end a day. Whether it鈥檚 a packed stadium, a blanket on a lawn, or the back porch of a cozy coffee shop, there鈥檚 always a concert nearby.
