Natalie Charney is a 14-year-old freshman at the Prep, and is fascinated by the ways of and values of writing, literature, horsemanship and art. She classifies herself as an artist and writer, and enjoys spending hours lounging around inside her room with her Golden Retriever, Bentley, whilst she draws and creates ideas for stories while listening to collections of soothing jazz hip hop. She also has an American Paint Horse named Pepsi, which she cares for and bonds with on the daily. She hopes that she can use her passion for animals, art, and writing in order to create compelling and interesting stories that will hook readers’ attention. Natalie also hopes to share and sell her art to the world, and is willing to do everything it takes to be the best version of herself and the greatest artist she can be.
