Natasha Begin is a Content Developer at TNG. She helps create ATIXA and NABITA curricula, toolkits, templates, and best practice guidelines that assist practitioners in serving their students and institutions. She brings her experience in residence life, community engagement, student activities, conduct, international program compliance, and Clery compliance from her time in student affairs at private liberal arts institutions.

Begin earned her BA from Saint Anselm College and her M.Ed. in K-12 School Counseling from Lewis and Clark College. She is completing her Ph.D. in Education and Social Change at Bellarmine University’s Annsely Frazier Thornton School of Education.

Begin brings a wealth of direct experience to TNG from her time co-chairing a behavior intervention team, overseeing bias response and civil rights complaints, and serving as Associate Dean of Students and Chief Title IX Officer.

Her approach to problem-solving is asset-based and solutions-focused. She believes successful teams engage critical stakeholders—from cabinet members to parents—to support students and the school community. She provides thoughtful training with confidence, empathy, and vision to support and empower practitioners.

A professional highlight is her success leveraging community partnerships and campus stakeholders to develop a student food pantry and an emergency fund supporting basic student needs that served over 3,000 students.
