[b]Background[/b]: Born to a less wealthy family in rural Poland Natasza took quite a bit to get interested and was a reluctant student till she discovered languages. However, her upbringing was raised on a family farm, often going out with her grandfather as parents were busy teaching her in the outdoors as she sometimes struggled in the classroom. His loss hit her hard when she was a teanager though it also drove her to succeed to show his faith in her was not unfounded. Graduating high in the relevant classes, she soon was offered a Scholarship at University of Warsaw, then Masters at St Andrews Scotland before taking her Doctorate at Oxford University. Was attracted to expeditions over the Academia or commercial side and signed onto the first field work trip possible and never looked back. Being a smaller female and often in a remote environment, Caution got the better of her and purchased an old SKS rifle, especially after an wolf incident on a dig in Finland excavating a native settlement.
