Natalie Wearstler

Managing Editor, Jacksonville Magazine

Natalie roamed across the Eastern seaboard and a few other countries before planting roots in Jacksonville. An avid reader and pop culture fanatic, Natalie channeled an affinity for great penmanship into a degree in English and journalism from Stetson University, where she studied everything from Dickens and Shakespeare to Star Trek and graphic novels. In her spare time, she frequently gets lost in Chamblin Bookmine, pores over the latest issue of Vanity Fair and attempts to cook basic meals without burning down her apartment. She has jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, walked along the Great Wall and once was a hand model for Taco Lu, but her favorite memory is joining the Jacksonville Magazine team in the summer of 2010.
