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.
Most recently, Natalie performed in a period drama called Thy Neighbour's Wife, written by Tara Beagan and directed by Melissa Oei. The play centred around the true story of the first woman ever sentenced to be hung in Alberta, Canada. 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.
