Natasha Rivers declared geography as her major in the spring of her first year in college.
"I didn’t know what opportunities lay ahead. I just knew I loved studying geography," she said.
She followed up with a Ph.D., a stint teaching in academia and then a job as the first district demographer for Seattle Public Schools. That was all before her current role as the sustainability and measurement director for BECU, a position that leverages her passion for learning, imagination and love for the environment.
