Why Hello There

Hey, my name is Natalie Toto
I am from Dallas, the best city ever! There are pretty much only three things to do in Dallas; go shopping, eat at awesome restaurants, and see movies, fortunately those are my three favorite things to do. I love music and I love to sing, so I am studying vocal performance here at Trinity. I am taking on a second major in communications too because I really like media studies and eventually I think I want to work in television or film production. 

As far as campus activities go I'm working with ASR to try and get an alcohol awareness foundation, called The Gordie Foundation, to work with Trinity on spreading alcohol awareness. Gordie Bailey was a freshman at University of Colorado at Boulder when he died of alcohol poisoning due to a fraternity's initiation tradition and his family created the foundation in his dedication. I have a special connection to the foundation because Gordie's little sister is one of my best friends and I know their family very well. This connection has made me pretty passionate in helping them spread their cause. If you are interested here is the website: www.gordie.org 

But enough of that let me tell you of happier things, like my family! I have a younger brother who just turned 16, my mom is a nurse practitioner in cardiology, and my dad is a nephrologist (kidney doctor) who does research and teaches at UT Southwestern medical school, where he is also the head of admissions. If anyone is interested in going to medical school UT Southwestern is great you should check it out. I also have two little puppy dogs, which actually puppies but I call them that anyways. I have a girl beagle who is 1 1/2 years old and a lady golden retriever who is 9. I love them so much! The golden (Crystal is her name) is really mellow and a good snuggler. The beagle (Roxy) is kind of crazy but she is hilariously entertaining and really smart (and really fat but we love her for that). 

Here is Roxy in her santa suit, which she happens to love (don't worry I'm not torturing my dog). Its really cute actually because when she didn't have it on she would go get it and bring it to us to put on her. 

And here is sweet little Crystal playing with Roxy when she was a puppy:

Actually Crystal is more staring in wonder at Roxy's craziness. Like I said Crystal is pretty mellow (not to mention old) and Roxy was a bit of a surprise for her. Crystal gets annoyed with Roxy a lot because Roxy will just run up and jump on Crystal's face. But I think in the end Crystal loves Roxy because Roxy loves her so much. 

As for computers I don't really have any special skills. I'm pretty competent with computers and am able to do everything I need to on my computer.

Here is my house and my neighborhood if you want to take a look:

My secret fact . . . . is that George Bush Jr. is moving into my neighborhood. I know its kind of lame, but hopefully I will come up with more interesting things in my life to tell you about in the future.
