She earned her Master’s in Physician Assistant Studies at Rocky Vista University where she received the Program Director’s Award for exemplary performance and embodiment of the mission & vision of the PA Program.

Natalie’s passion for reproductive medicine and women’s health were established while serving as a research assistant and patient navigator for the University of Colorado Fertility Preservation Program prior to becoming a PA. In observing the inequity between patients who were able to afford fertility preservation treatment and those who were not, she was motivated to create an initiative to offset the cost of treatment for patients in need. Her desire to continue expanding access to fertility care for all led her to Kindbody.
