Hi everyone, My name is Natasha and I’m the clinical cook at the Charles J. Andrew Youth and Family Treatment Center in Sheshatshiu, Labrador.

I’ve been at the Centre since 2008. For the first 6-7 years I was a youth and family worker. You will see me sometimes in the kitchen baking/cooking or see me running around playing hide and seek with the kids. I try to be as interactive as I can be because I love everyone’s company.

I have a son who is my world. I strive to be the best person I can be for him. He’s my rock and the one that keeps me on my toes. I love being able to get outside on skidoo, fishing and my favorite time of the year is the spring seal hunt. I am also a certified counsellor through ICBOC.
