While composing an eclectic and wide breadth of work in satire, film, poetry and spoken word, sports coverage, news writing and gonzo music journalism—with bylines in five publications across various platforms—Natalie has demonstrated journalistic commitment to the most pressing issues of today’s polarized nation, such as growing economic inequality, mental illness and the why the C-word is an integral part of every Irish exchange student’s vernacular.

She independently directed and produced the internationally-acclaimed comedy short, Cancelled (2018), while simultaneously serving as director of media relations for an in-progress, independent documentary on mental illness in Sacramento’s homeless community (No Home Here). After editing and writing for UC Berkeley’s premier music magazine, The B-Side, for three years, she began working for theXchange (formerly Rock With This) as a Music Curator. In January 2020, she began editing for The Baram House, which is a digital magazine representing independent artists and authors, with a focus on literature and fine art. Most recently, she has co-hosted the Pass It Down podcast which has featured guests such as hip-hop legend Luther Campbell, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and New Orleans Saints star Cam Jordan.

Aside from her editorial background, she’s worked in sports (Cal Football Recruiting), events (Sundance Film Festival), politics (The Congressional App Challenge; Clean Energy For Biden), fundraising (Win Michigan, Win the Planet), and legal proofreading (Buehler Workplace Investigations).

She’s versatile, driven and determined to make a difference, whatever the medium may be. Please enjoy this sampling of her work.
