What People Say about Natalie’s Work
Natalie is one of my favorite humans I’ve ever worked with! She brings incredible experience, heart and depth – along with a “figure it out” skillset that means, no matter what is in front of her, she’ll move through.
— Jess Skylar, Founder, The Helia Collective
“Honestly? It’s just money well spent. Every month. I trust Natalie, I love working with Natalie, and the results speak for themselves.”
— Matthew McAllister, CEO, SolarAPP Foundation
Why Helia LOVES Natalie
We met Natalie when she took her “pandemic job” as a part-time grant writer at Think of Us, which then evolved into her having her hands in SO many things (communications, project management, research, fundraising, UX – and more!). In other words, Natalie is a doer!!!! Her love of making things easier and more possible, coupled with her experience as a human, social worker, and work in both local and national contexts, makes her an incredible partner in strategy AND implementation.
Natalie finds joy + ease in
I find joy and steadiness in remembering that my faith—and practicing faithfulness—go hand in hand. I delight in novelty, singing out loud, and finding wildflowers. In reading, hiking, or pausing to see if the mountains are out today. In being with my best-friend-of-a-husband and the three small humans we get to guide as they grow up. And in showing up—for my community, for strangers, and for the work (the gift) of helping bring good into the world.
