About Me

Hi there!

Natalie is an NYC-based actor and singer for theatre and film.

Hailing originally from the Washington, D.C. area, Natalie had the very good fortune of being born to two State Department employees who kindly carted her along with them on their transatlantic adventures. She spent 9 years living overseas in Rome, London, and Geneva, where her passion for performing was piqued, shaped, and fueled.

She returned stateside for college, where she attended the University of Virginia and had the great pleasure of learning and working throughout her career, even originating the role of Doña Ines in Dave Dalton’s hysterical Love’s A Bitch, and working/revising with Samantha Macher in residency on her award-winning The Arctic Circle (and a recipe for Swedish pancakes).

She graduated in 2018 with a BA in Drama and Foreign Affairs, with honors. She firmly believes in the inherent political capacity of theatre.

Since arriving in New York…

Natalie’s been pretty busy!

In the Fall of 2018 she joined the cast of Godspell at St. Bart’s Players to reprise the role of Anna Maria and rock out to “Day By Day.” She has since remained a member of the group, also performing in their Neil Simon fundraising showcase in Spring 2019. She continues to work and perform regularly with the Columbia University MFA Directing Class of 2021, often working with and performing for Brian Kulick and Anne Bogart directly. Through this program, she was able to devise and perform in Kelly O’Donnell’s thesis presentation, New World Radio (2021).

She has thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to continue to learn and devise thought-provoking pieces under the guidance of brilliant new directors.

In Fall 2019, she embarked on her first national tour with Chamber Theatre Productions, bringing theater to students across the United States in the form of Encore!: a collection of six short plays adapted from 19th century literature.

Natalie has most recently been seen as Kitty Bennet in Hudson Classical Theater Co.’s production of Pride & Prejudice (2022), debuting as an equity actor and gettin’ down on the dance floor, Regency-style.

She regularly performs cover gigs at The Ivy Room with her husband, Sam.

Natalie joined AEA and SAG-AFTRA at the end of 2021 and it is her greatest achievement yet.

When she’s not performing, Natalie enjoys completing crosswords, challenging herself at Pure Barre, and getting a sip at Panera.
