Natalie was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and grew up primarily in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was in the 3rd grade that Natalie decided she wanted to try and be a model. She did some modeling for children's clothing catalogs, shot a couple of commercials, and was able to work on films that passed through New Mexico. Natalie took a break from acting and modeling to pursue competitive fencing. She went to Nationals and Junior Olympics multiple times, and placed 3rd in the nation on a couple of occasions earning a B rating. Natalie later competed in a World Cup for the United States. Before moving to Los Angeles, to again pursue acting and modeling, Natalie suffered an injury requiring surgery which took her away from competitive fencing. Natalie still resides and works as an actress in Los Angeles with her husband.
