Natalie grew up in a small town on the east coast. And when we say small, we mean like a 2 stop lights kind of small. She wasn’t always motivated and was probably would’ve been voted least likely to succeed at anything. When she turned 18, all she could think about was getting out of that small town as she felt she was destined for much bigger things. So, just like that she packed her things and headed out to Los Angeles at the young age of 19, only to fall in love with the city. Natalie initially moved to obtain an Associate’s Degree in guitar performance at the Musician’s Institute, which she did quite successfully, and shortly after that found Muay Thai. The rest is history.

Natalie has been training and competing for over 12 years in martial arts, specifically Muay Thai. She’s been fighting professionally for over 5 years now and holds the North American WBC National Featherweight Title in Muay Thai. In 2017 she was the first ever American to be part of the international tournament, World Muay Thai Angels, against 16 of the world’s best female fighters at 57kg. Having currently fought at the famed Lumpini Boxing Stadium in Bangkok for Fairtex Fight, she was the first ever caucasian American female to do so. Natalie will also be on the newest season of The Challenger, a Muay Thai competition reality show, where she was living with and competing against the best women from all over the world in the 55kg division. It will premiere globally in February/March of 2023 on Discovery Plus. Nataie has a passion for sharing all that she has learned over the years with others in the sport that she loves so dearly!
