The truth is that I hate bragging about myself, so I’ll let other people do it for me.
Peer & Colleague
I loved that Natalie made work feel fun!! It never felt like work working with her. But I hated that she was always swamped and we never had enough time to do more workshopping together. Other people would be honored to work with her because she is not only knowledgeable and an expert in her field, she truly enjoys what she does and it was always so great to bounce ideas off of her.
I miss working with her.

Thinking back on my time with Natalie as my manager at Gannett, I'm struck by her exceptional leadership. Not only did she consistently set clear project expectations, eliminating ambiguity and streamlining our workflow, but she also demonstrated a genuine care for each team member. Natalie's personal investment in our growth and well-being went beyond professional development — she was genuinely interested in our success. Her candid feedback not only made me a better designer and professional, but also continued the positive and supportive environment we had. Natalie is not just an excellent manager; she is a truly remarkable person who elevates the workplace with her kindness and dedication.

Natalie is a creative force. For many of my projects, I've either reached out to her for feedback, or at least thought to myself: 'How would Natalie approach this?'
I deeply respect her skills and perspective. She has a way of bringing out the best in your work.
