Natalie's passion for marketing was sparked by an interest in consumer behavior. Prior to joining the agency world, she spent more than eight years in marketing research—delving into consumers' minds and exploring the decision-making process. She then turned her sights from understanding behavior to developing marketing that affected behavior.

Natalie transitioned into agency life working with clients such as Sara Lee, Centerra Wine Company, Syngenta, Uniroyal and Merz Pharmaceuticals to uncover insights and develop programs that reach the heart of their target audiences, whether consumer or business-to-business.

Natalie is a graduate of UNC-Greensboro and is a long-time UNC-G Bryan School of Business board member. She is active in both the agency industry and her local community and sits on various regional boards.
