About Me

Welcome! I’m Natalia, and I’m a Communications Professional turned Actor /Producer/Writer who works to create conscious content that amplifies the stories and of women and people of color. So far, my film career experience spans working in production for scripted series, narrative and documentary feature length and short film, music video and commercial production.

I momentarily left my beloved inner-city Chicago for Midwestern cornfields to obtain a B.A in Journalism & Mass Communication and a B.A. in Art Photography from the University of Iowa. I’m a proud Hawkeye, even though I never actually attended an Iowa football game - hey, don’t judge me.

Favorite past times: dry red wines, classic 90’s comedies, square-cut thin crust pizza (yes - how Chicago locals eat pizza), aroma therapy candles, Twitter, and pugs - preferably all at once please! I love my city of Chicago and try to represent it in my work as much as I can.
