In 1989, she married Sergei Abramovich who was soon invited to come to the United States as a visiting professor of mathematics education at the University of Georgia, Athens. The family also lived in Chicago and in 1998 settled in Potsdam, NY. For a number of years, Natasha worked as Editor of the SUNY Potsdam School of Education and Professional Studies Newsletter.
