Natalie and her family have been Brandon residents for 18 years, where her four boys currently attend school at Otter Valley High School and Neshobe Elementary. She has been actively involved in the community for many years, from assisting as a coach in several of the town's recreation programs, to her current role on the Prudential Committee, as well as a residing Director on the Otter Valley Unified Union School Board. Natalie has a degree from Penn State in Political Science, with a minor in Business, as well as a B.S. in Land Use, with a concentration in Environment and Resources, from Metro State Denver. She first began her career in land use and community planning in Summit County Colorado before she moved to Vermont in 2001, where she worked at LandWorks, a consulting firm in Middlebury, for nearly twenty years. As a planner and senior project manager, Natalie managed a wide range of planning and development projects, from energy siting to historic preservation to zoning bylaws. In those many years she had the great pleasure and privilege to travel all over Vermont and northern New England to collaborate with a variety of select boards, planning commissions, advisory committees, and many other volunteer groups across the region. For the last several years, Natalie has been working for the General Counsel and Chief of Staff at Middlebury College, as well as assisting the President and her Senior Leadership Group. When she is not busy in her career and volunteer commitments, Natalie enjoys spending time with her friends and family, as well as chauffeuring her boys around to watch them play sports, especially basketball.
