Natalya Brackus - Development Associate

Natalya has spent her entire life discovering the vibrant neighborhoods of Pittsburgh and is eager to start her journey here in Hazelwood by joining COL in 2023. Natalya gained a diverse background from the University of Pittsburgh by obtaining a B.S. in Natural Sciences in 2020 that covered biology, chemistry, neuroscience, and psychology. She also graduated with certificates in Sustainability and Non-Profit Management.

Natalya is excited to be able to support the people of Hazelwood and beyond through fundraising as a Development Associate for Center of Life.

Outside of Center of Life, Natalya can be found indulging her creativity through painting, drawing, working with clay, and more. She also enjoys spending quality time with her best friends and two cats, Ducky and Binx.

“I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be a part of Center of Life, whose positive impact spreads across the region and continues to grow.”
