Natalie Rivers

Nat's News brings you web-exclusive content you can only get on azfamily.com.

I'm Natalie, the host behind Nat's News Live Chats and contributor to Varsity Zone.

I moved to the Valley in the summer of 2006. Originally I was born in Nashville, Tenn., but have lived from coast to coast and spent time overseas.

Most recently I was in Lawrence, Kansas where I received my undergraduate's degree in Journalism and Spanish from the University of Kansas and then spent a year working at a newspaper, the Lawrence Journal-World, as a multimedia sports editor in the online department.

In my spare time I love finding the best things to do and best places to eat in the Valley.

When I'm not working on keeping you up to date on the latest breaking news, I love watching sports, taking photographs or simply relaxing with a good book or magazine.

I am so excited to be a part of Arizona's Family and hope to take Internet journalism to a new level. Each week I hope you tune in to our Live Video Chats as we are constantly trying to bring you something unexpected while maintaining the high level you expect from our site.

In addition to exclusive chats, I will maintain a blog highlighting what is going on online, big events, plus any other useful tidbits I might throw in.

Tune in to 3TV on Friday nights for Varsity Zone, as I bring you high school sports stories that you won't see on any other television station.
