Biography

Natalie skipped high-school hangouts to watch Babette’s Feast and Do the Right Thing with her dad- an early crash course in empathy, politics, and great storytelling. Raised as the subject of her mom’s adoring home videos, she’s always been comfortable in front of the camera. She earned her BA in Film and Art History from the University of Michigan, and trained at leading LA acting studios including Baron Brown, Berg Studio, and The Artist’s Space. Her sold-out one-woman show JELLO BRAIN- a darkly funny, deeply personal take on her mother’s early-onset Alzheimer’s- played the Hollywood Fringe (expanded run, 2024) and the Edinburgh Fringe (2025). Stage Raw praised her "quick wit," London Theater Weekly called it "very sharp," and NoHo Arts District named it "a must-see play of extraordinary honesty and beauty." Accepted to Columbia’s MSW program but choosing acting instead, Natalie also works with neurodivergent children, using acting-based tools to build connection and communication.
