Natalie Otero
President
Hey y’all! I’m so excited to be President this year! Let’s be honest, my main hobby at this point is HonCon, but otherwise you might catch me hyperventilating on a run or reading a book instead of doing my homework. I am also currently a little obsessed with Baldurs Gate; ask me about it at your own risk. I am an accounting major with a computer science minor, and am interning at Deloitte back home in Jax this summer. Please feel free to email me any at @honorscongress+president - I love getting student emails; they make me feel cool and important.
