Natalie is a stage and film actress. Having grown up singing and dancing, she loved making up routines in her front yard to her Fergie CD as a girl, and that love evolved into a passion for performing arts. She graduated in May 2023 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from Nebraska Wesleyan University. She has a  classical voice background that transitioned into musical theatre. She has been taught under the instruction of David Barrus, Anne McAlexander, and Natalie Weiss. With a versatility in roles from legitimate engenues, spunky sidekicks, sexy chorus girls, warm matriarchs, and belt-y anti-heros, she creates truthful characters through Stanislavski and Michael Chekhov based methods. She has explored and developed several characters on film as well. She is an avid quad roller-skater, a seamstress, a certified yoga teacher, a published and award-winning poet, a reader, a barista/coffee connoisseur, a plant lover and a cat mom. She currently resides in Abingdon, VA and is second-year resident player with The Barter Players, an extension of the historical Barter Theatre. As a Barter Player, Natalie acts in theatre for young audiences with the goal and intention to bring stories to a community that is often underserved in the arts. She also supports the resident acting company in their mainstage shows, ranging from dancing in the ensemble, understudying multiple tracks, and performing in principle roles.
