A true triple threat, Natalie is a multi-faceted artist based in New York.

Born in the small but mighty theatre community of Cleveland, OH, Natalie grew up in love with live art. Dancing competitively and performing at theatres like Great Lakes Theatre Festival, she connected to performance from a young age. She later attended Interlochen Center for the Arts, where she received the Fine Arts Award for an outstanding performance and promising talent. This began a life-long dedication to her craft and a reverence for all art forms as artistic inspirations.

Natalie continued her education at Northwestern University, studying Theatre and Comparative Literature. While at Northwestern, she performed in six MainStage productions at the Wirtz Center, including the historic Waa-Mu Show, and she worked with Chicago professionals such as David Bell, Nick Bowling, Christopher Chase Carter, Stephen Schellhardt, and Amanda Dehnert, as well as A Chorus Line-veteran Kurt Domoney and Emmy-nominated Jaclyn Biskup. She was honored with The Hoenig Scholarship, awarded to young artists who show great promise in their careers.

She has worked at regional theaters such as Bucks County Playhouse, Paramount Theatre, Porchlight Music Theatre and the Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago. She lives in New York and is a member of Actor’s Equity Association.
