  • "Natalie is a superb collaborator and writer. I am impressed by how she fully embedded herself into this project, taking the time to understand our goals for the report and familiarizing herself with GripTape’s mission and work. Natalie showed genuine care for conveying the stories of GripTape alums and the impact of our program. This effort showed up in the high-quality writing she produced. Collaborating with Natalie was a breeze, and having her as an engaged thought partner was a true gift. She was always organized, timely, and prepared. Natalie brings a wide array of skills to her work, not least her writing and storytelling expertise. She is a pleasure to work with, and we highly recommend her!"
