About Natalie:

 My interest is working alongside women and minority businesses to help  them overcome the fears, insecurities of starting, scaling, and  sustaining a business. This journey and assignment is not about me, but  it’s about all those that I can help and support. I want customers that  are hungry and understand the importance of investing in themselves and  are willing to put everything on the line for their business, purpose,  and life. I want customers that are committed to strategy, operate in  integrity, and are willing to be open. I want customers that understands  accountability leads to profitability. Someone that’s not afraid to  push, not afraid of hard work, and someone that is result driven.
