About Natalie

 
 

I’m a screenwriter, creative producer, and travel journalist based in Los Angeles. This year I won two Telly Awards for online writing. I’m currently the Co-Executive Producer and Head Writer on humAIn, a scripted anthology blending thriller, sci-fi, and psychological drama. I co-write and co-executive produce each episode, oversee casting, locations, and production from development through final cut.

Previously I worked at film festivals including the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, AFI Fest, and the Abu Dhabi International Film Festival, where I served as a filmmaker liaison. I later transitioned into public relations, producing digital content for international brands.

As a journalist, my writing has been published in the Los Angeles Times, Travel + Leisure, BBC Travel, and Food & Wine. In 2024, I scripted the American Heart Association’s national commercial, which aired during the Summer Olympics.

I’m a proud writing mentor with WriteGirl, a nonprofit that empowers teens through creative writing. I’m a member of Women in Film. I hold an MFA in Screenwriting from the American Film Institute and dual BAs in English and Film from UC Santa Barbara.
