After a long journey living around the world (Israel, Singapore, and various cities around the US), Natalie is excited to return to her birthplace in the Bay Area. Natalie is a community builder passionate about helping young adults find connection, joy, and meaning in being a part of the Jewish people.
Natalie completed pre-medical studies at UNC Chapel Hill, and only after finishing all of her requirements, she decided to pursue a different path more aligned with her interests. She moved to Miami after undergrad to serve as a City Year AmeriCorps member and went on to complete her Master’s Degree in Community and Social Change at the University of Miami. Before joining Berkeley Hillel, Natalie utilized her background in community building, program development, and evaluation to promote a welcoming and inclusive Jewish community for MIT graduate students.
In her free time, Natalie loves to try new recipes, explore new cafes/restaurants (hit her up with your favorite recs), go to group fitness classes (Crossfit is her latest interest), travel to new places, and stay up to date with current events in Israel.
