I&#8217;m Nathan.  I teach and advise at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsu.edu\/\">NC State<\/a> (and love it here) in the <a href=\"https:\/\/cnr.ncsu.edu\/prtm\/\">Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management department<\/a>.  I also co-own a wellness center with my partner <a href=\"https:\/\/brittanyguerin.com\/about\/\">Brit<\/a> in downtown Raleigh.  It&#8217;s called <a href=\"https:\/\/currentwellnessraleigh.com\/\">Current Wellness<\/a> and we offer fitness and yoga classes, massage therapy, coworking space for wellness practitioners, and cooking and mocktail classes (to explain the picture of me in the apron&#8230;).  I&#8217;m super-excited about connecting college students with their future careers and life passions.  If you&#8217;d like to talk about careers in parks and rec fields or there&#8217;s anything I can do to be helpful, please <a href=\"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/contact\/\">reach out<\/a> (or <a href=\"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/teaching\/\">take a class with me<\/a>)!<\/p>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-fp-accompaniment\">\n    \n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-fp-image\">\n  <figure class=\"fancy-paragraph__image-container fancy-paragraph__image-square\">\n          <img \n        decoding=\"async\"\n        class=\"fp-image wp-image-\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2022\/11\/Nathan-in-an-apron-819x1024.jpeg\"\n         alt=\"Picture of Nathan in an apron in the Current Wellness kitchen\"               >\n          <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  \n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s my <a href=\"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2025\/05\/Nathan-Williams_CV.pdf\">(mostly) up-to-date CV (as of May, 2025)<\/a> if you want to know more about my background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s my (mostly) up-to-date CV (as of May, 2025) if you want to know more about my background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ncst_dynamicHeaderBlockName":"ncst\/default-header","ncst_dynamicHeaderData":"{\"pageIntro\":\"\"}","ncst_content_audit_freq":"","ncst_content_audit_date":"","ncst_content_audit_display":false,"ncst_backToTopFlag":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13\/revisions\/220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.cnr.ncsu.edu\/nathanwilliams\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
