Hello, I’m Natalie!
If someone was to ask me what my passion is, I would simply answer, helping those in need. Ever since I was a young child, I would pretend that I was a therapist and would work with abused or disabled children. I have no idea where this came from, but my dolls always had broken arms or legs, were in wheelchairs or needed crutches, or were often sad and in need of advice.
As I grew older, my desire to help lead me to attend Metropolitan State University to study Human Services and receive my bachelor’s degree. My focus was on children, adolescents, and families. I had the opportunity to work within my community with a school social worker in an elementary school and also as a victim advocate for 3 different police departments. Once I began working with children and families, it solidified for me that attending the University of Denver and receiving a master’s degree in social work with an emphasis in children, adolescents, and families would be the perfect fit.
