Upon graduating from Stanford in 2015, she founded a consulting business dedicated to helping ambitious students and professionals achieve highly competitive academic and career outcomes. Natalie works with high school students starting in their sophomore year, guiding them in selecting classes, extracurricular activities, and summer programs to build a compelling, differentiated profile that reflects their authentic interests.

She helps clients build sharp, targeted resumes, write impactful cover letters, and walk into interviews with confidence. Clients learn to articulate their value clearly, present themselves with polish, and approach every opportunity with structure and intention to stand out in competitive candidate pools.
