Riverstone - Riverstone Welcomes New Lifestyle Director

Riverstone has hired Natasha Hakala as the community’s new lifestyle director.

A Houston native, Hakala has worked in event planning and customer service and is a certified personal trainer. At Riverstone, she will be responsible for planning resident-only and public events, such as the upcoming Heart and Sole 5K, set for Sept. 29. She also will continue the resident fitness programs in the community.

“Riverstone is a beautiful community and reminds me of the one I grew up in, so conveniently located yet nicely tucked away from all the real hustle and bustle of the big city,” she said. “I’m excited to continue the great traditions that have been introduced in Riverstone, as well as adding my own flavor to the mix.”

Hakala has traveled extensively, including living in Rome for a summer and visiting South America frequently. A graduate of the University of Houston, Hakala enjoys Crossfit, creating art and movies. Hakala often is seen around town with Ruby, a Labrador mix she adopted seven years ago.

“Riverstone and the entire Fort Bend area is so diverse, I think my experience with other cultures will be a real plus in planning events that will have broad appeal,” she said.
