She has the goal of ensuring all students feel supported as they learn to navigate their career options during and after their time at the University of New Haven.

As a first–generation college graduate, Natalie takes pride in preparing those entering the professional setting, with both tangible resources and confidence, especially those from under-represented and diverse populations.
