Natalie joined the Beacon because she may or may not want to be Rory Gilmore. When she’s not at soccer practice literally every second of every day you can find her hanging with her identical twin sister or playing with her dog Jonesy who is definitely not just another crusty white dog. Her greatest pride comes from her column with professional athletes called Tiger Talk (shameless plug).
