Natalie is thrilled to be part of the SCM office team! A Bay Area native who grew up over the hill in Saratoga, she has always had a passion for education. After earning her Bachelor's degree in Communications from the University of Southern California, she returned home to attend the University of San Francisco, where she completed her teaching credential and Master's in Education. She went on to spend six years teaching kindergarten in San Francisco and Los Altos before stepping away to embrace motherhood. Following a brief time in the corporate world, Natalie is so happy to be back in a school setting and there's no better spot for her than the front office, where she gets to connect with families and students every day while staying close to her daughter in the Willow class and her son in Fireside at the YCC. If you're ever passing by the front office, please stop and say hello. She'd love to meet you!
