Natalie Durant

My 'interesting fact' for ice-breakers is that I have lived in three continents. I was born in Hong Kong and moved after 10 years to Kew Gardens, West London. I have spent the past 4 years studying Biology at Stanford University in California but have recently moved home to London where I am currently job searching.

This March I retired from a 15 year career as a competitive swimmer, racing for Ealing SC, Great Britain and most recently, Stanford. I still love water and being active, more difficult in London than some places, but I love to surf and scuba dive when traveling. I have recently discovered a passion for photography, due to a conservation photography seminar in Costa Rica this summer. I am very passionate about conserving our planet's resources and helping to communicate the conservation issues the world is increasingly tackling.
