Teensource is proud and excited to welcome Natalie Treacy, a teen writer, to the blog writing team! Natalie is a 17 year old high school senior. She's from Sacramento and is very passionate about sexual health issues. She is currently serving her community by putting together programs for sex education and HIV testing in her school. Attending Humboldt State in the Fall 09, this young woman has what it takes to make a difference!

Natalie Says:

I’m passionate about doing sex education because I want to become a reproductive health doctor or counselor. Also, when I was younger, I had to figure sex stuff out on my own. Once I got into sex education, I just couldn’t drop it. I was hooked immediately. I love being able to talk to my peers at school if they have questions about sex ed, and knowing that they’re coming to me because they trust me makes me feel a little connected to them. I wouldn’t ever mislead anyone with the wrong information; if I get stuck or don’t know that I’m 100% sure about what the answer is, I make sure to find out, and the let the people know as soon as I see them again.
