TikTok Celebrity at Central Story by Joseph Stanger | Photos by Natalie Steinman Design by Sara Roach Have you ever met a celebrity? Well, if you go to CWU, you might have had a class with one. Natalie Steinman is a 21-year-old majoring in film production who began putting out fun videos with her roommate on TikTok shortly after the start of her freshman year. But now, as a senior, her following has accrued to over 1.1 million users. “TikTok used to be the app called Musically, and I used to have Musically when I was little,” Steinman says. “And then it changed to TikTok and more people started using it, so I was like, ‘Oh, this looks fun.’ So I just downloaded it and started making fun videos with my roommate, and then it just kind of took off.”
