My name is Natalie. On good days, when few things seem to be wrong, my friends call me Nat. I am native to the Garden State. My mother raised me in small cities that only make it on the news when bad things happen. When people look at me, they cannot see that. They see me for my high energy and creativity, for the love that I bring in a room full of sadness. In this space, I will bring both love and sadness. I will sprinkle feelings of pain, affection, power, and helplessness.
