Natalie is an actor, creator, and comedian based in New York. Originally from Vancouver, Canada, Natalie moved to New York to get her BFA in Drama at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. She has studied at Playwrights Horizons Theatre School as well as Stonestreet Studios. She has traveled the world studying her craft, spending a summer at NYU’s Commedia Dell’arte program in Florence, Italy participating in a variety of performances including productions directed by Allyson Green (Dean of NYU tisch) and Jim Calder. In Spring 2018 she spent a semester studying Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, England, where she worked with multiple guest artists including Kevin McNally (Mr. Gibbs in Pirates of The Carribean) and director Geoff Bullen as well as performing the role of Cassius in Julius Ceasar. A stage warrior at heart, Natalie is proud to be certified in broadsword.
Mostly recently, Natalie played a spunky, angsty, and badass version of Hero in the pop punk rendition of Much Ado About Nothing at Playwrights Horzions Theatre School. She was also in another production of Julius Caesar as Julius Caesar, where social media and instagramer influencers rule a nation. Natalie is also the co-founder of the stand-up group Women Stand Up. Women Stand Up's goal is to empower any and all female identifying of any age and any job to have their beginnings in stand up by creating a community that supports them and a place where their stories are heard for what they are.
