Natasha Thondavadi

Natasha Thondavadi hails from Barrington, Ill., a small country-suburbs-ish place where she takes pride and pleasure in being cold and driving her SUV. As the News’ Architecture and Campus Construction beat reporter she hopes to expand out of her current niche of writing exclusively about quirky and obscure artists, though they’ll always be her true love. In addition to writing for the News, Natasha is the Editor-in-Chief of Helicon: Yale’s Undergraduate Journal of the Classics and is basically that nerdy in all pursuits.
