Natalie Siddique

Natalie Siddique (CAS’13) of San Luis Obispo, Calif., is co-founder of Moja Gear, a content- and community-driven rock-climbing marketplace. After majoring in international relations and Russian and Eastern European studies, and preparing for a career in foreign service, Natalie found that her love of rock climbing (which started at BU’s FitRec) pulled her in a different direction. Last April she moved to California and joined a friend in a startup incubator to build Moja Gear (www.mojagear.com), which aims to be a personal and immersive online retail experience for climbers that places community at the forefront.
