Ms. Natalie has been working in early childhood education since 2025 and holds her Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential. She plans to continue her education by pursuing her Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and is passionate about creating a nurturing environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn. Natalie especially loves the unique full-circle experience of teaching at the same school she attended as a child under Ms. Bojana’s care, and she enjoys watching children build confidence, curiosity, and independence each day.

Outside of work, Natalie enjoys crocheting, painting, coloring, making bracelets, spending time with friends, and cheering on her favorite hockey and baseball teams. Her favorite children’s book is Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss because of its inspiring message about embracing challenges and believing in yourself. Guided by her favorite verse, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5), Natalie strives to create a classroom where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
