Thanks for stopping by!

I’m an actress, comedian, and storyteller who has built a life around chasing joy, telling the truth (even when it’s ridiculous), and finding the funny in almost everything. I believe laughter is a kind of magic — it breaks tension, builds bridges, and sometimes even saves the day. It’s the thread that runs through my work and my life, whether I’m on stage, on screen, or just making my friends laugh over coffee.

I’ve been lucky enough to spend my career telling stories — some big, some small, all meaningful in their own way. Theater has been my greatest teacher, comedy has been my secret weapon, and the people I’ve met along the way have been the reason I keep showing up (well, them and the free snacks).

I’m also deeply passionate about developing new work and collaborating with other artists. There’s something thrilling about building a story from the ground up, breathing life into characters who’ve never existed before, and watching a project take shape through teamwork, creativity, and shared vision. I love the messiness of the process, the spark of discovery, and the joy of creating something that feels fresh, honest, and alive.

But beyond the spotlight, I’m just Natalie — a person who loves long dinners with friends, laughing until my cheeks hurt, and walking the city with a great playlist in my ears. I’m passionate about living honestly, finding joy in small things, and never taking myself too seriously (unless we’re talking about dessert, then yes, it’s serious).

This site is my little corner of the internet to share the work I’m proud of, the projects that inspire me, and maybe a laugh or two along the way. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share a piece of myself with you. I hope you leave here smiling, or at least thinking, “She seems fun. I’d split fries with her.”’

XOXO, NCE
