Natalie Earl is a fourth-year student in the College from Milford, Ohio. She is majoring in Latin American and Caribbean studies and creative writing on the nonfiction track. For the Maroon, Natalie is a copy chief and enjoys writing photo essays about campus events and life. Outside of the Maroon, Natalie is writing an autoethnographic book on five generations of her Puerto Rican family.
