Natasha Matemera Residence Representative Candidate
Oki and hello, my name is Natasha Matemera. I am a 4th year Economics and Finance major. I was an RA in Uhall D/E3 and over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Vice President of University Hall. After university, I plan to build a career in wealth management and capital markets investments, where I can contribute to strategic financial growth and impactful investment decisions. Beyond finance, I am deeply passionate about sustainable aid and development, believing that long-term, thoughtful solutions are key to meaningful change. My goal is to work with an international organization dedicated to creating sustainable, innovative pathways to improve lives, ensuring that economic progress translates into real, lasting benefits for communities worldwide. I love Formula One, and one of my favorite things to do is admire breathtaking scenery and capture it through photography, finding beauty in the world around me
