Nathalie got started<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My name is Nathalie Neville.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">Originally from Paris France, I grew up in the city and had a very typical French upbringing. I come from a family of 4 children, 1 older brother and 2 younger sisters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">My father was a business man and my mother a home maker.\u00a0 My dad was <\/span><span class=\"_5yl5\">also the president of the Paris Chamber of commerce.\u00a0 <\/span>My mom<span class=\"_5yl5\">\u00a0 was and still is an incredible cook!! So I grew up eating AMAZING foods! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">I went to Catholic schools and took the subway and bus at a very young age. I went to night clubs starting at the age of 13 and started modeling at the age of 15. I spent most of my summers in either Normandy or the South of France. Most my relatives all lived in Paris. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>First time in America<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">I came to the US for the first time during the summer of 1979 at the age of 13 to improve my English and stayed with some American friends of my parents in Long Island, New York.\u00a0They had 2 teenage daughters who introduced me to the American teenage lifestyle. They taught me how to make grilled cheese sandwiches and how to put make up on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">On July 4th I went to New York City with the 2 teenage daughters. I experienced eating my first hot dog from a street cart and simply fell in love with New York City!!! It was bigger than life and intimidating at the same time. New York during that time was dirty and a little scary but I loved that edginess. I loved how busy the streets were and how tall the buildings were. I knew that I would eventually move to the Big City!! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Detour in Texas ends back to New York City<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">After High school, I moved to the US and did an exchange program for a year in Victoria,Texas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">I wanted to improve my English so that I would be able to attend college in the US. Texas was a very different experience for me . However, I enjoyed meeting many people who were all entertained by me. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">The local newspaper even wrote an article about me. I was teaching French in a local high school while also getting an American High school diploma.<br \/>\nAfter a year, I moved to New York City where I did some modeling and attended NYU (New York University). <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mq6a5l-122f71cc6120469262827235f5028510\">\n#top .avia-gallery.av-mq6a5l-122f71cc6120469262827235f5028510 .avia-gallery-thumb a{\nwidth:20%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-gallery av-mq6a5l-122f71cc6120469262827235f5028510 avia_animate_when_visible  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_gallery  avia-builder-el-last  deactivate_avia_lazyload avia-gallery-animate avia-gallery-2'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class='avia-gallery-thumb'> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1.jpg 598w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-293x300.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-450x461.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" data-rel='gallery-2' data-prev-img='https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-495x400.jpg' class='first_thumb lightbox ' data-onclick='1' title='Interview_NathalieNeville'  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  ><img class=\"wp-image-19023 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-19023\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-180x180.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\"  title='Interview_NathalieNeville' alt='' srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/Interview_NathalieNeville-1-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus-450x263.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-rel='gallery-2' data-prev-img='https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus-495x350.jpg' class='lightbox ' data-onclick='2' title='NYU_Campus'  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  ><img class=\"wp-image-19025 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-19025\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus-180x180.jpg\" width=\"180\" height=\"180\"  title='NYU_Campus' alt='' srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.eurocircle.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/member\/2016\/09\/NYU_Campus-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>Life in Atlanta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"_5yl5\">At the age of 22 I moved to Atlanta and met an English guy whom I married.\u00a0 We\u00a0 had 4 children together.
