Natalie Burgess

Natalie Burgess is a first-year Cultural Studies Master of Arts student at Queen’s University. She finished her Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Biology at Queen’s in early 2023. Natalie took a variety of courses in both the natural sciences and humanities during her undergraduate degree, and she feels that her prior academic knowledge provides her with a balanced and unique perspective as she pursues graduate studies. She was drawn to Cultural Studies by its interdisciplinary nature and diverse range of research avenues. Currently, she is interested in researching the commodification of self-care concepts and feminist ideology in online advertisements that target young women. Outside of her academic involvements, Natalie enjoys reading, watching medical TV shows and spending time with her family’s German Shepherd dog Willow.
