Writer/ Actor
Natalie’s dad sparked her interest in film early on by showing her movies like Babettes Feast, Do the Right Thing, and Apocalypse Now. Natalie’s mom nurtured her passion for story telling by regularly filming her in home video documentaries. She received her BA in Film and Art History from the University of Michigan in 2018; after graduation she moved to LA. In 2023, she was chosen to attend IAMA Theater Company’s (Designated by Playbill as “one of 20 regional houses every theater lover must know,”) Summer Actor’s Intensive. There, she met Emmy Award winning casting director Danny Gordon. She now studies with Danny Gordon and Terra Mackintosh at their studio: The Artist’s Space Studio, in Hollywood. She is represented by Citizen Skull Management.
Natalie was accepted to Columbia University’s School of Social Work for Fall 2025, where she plans to specialize in aging. With her MSW, her goal is to create a curriculum of acting- inspired group therapy tools that address the unique circumstances of those with dementia and autism to foster connectedness. Currently, she uses these techniques in her work with neurodivergent kids and adults. Natalie has been immersed in the dementia community since her mother was diagnosed with early- onset Alzheimer’s in 2020.
