Since a young age, being a journalist has always been her dream job. Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, Natalie found her love for sports and journalism.\n \nPreviously a reporter for Gulf Coast Media, a local news source that produces newspapers and magazines in Baldwin County, Natalie would cover stories from investigative, profile, sports and more. She would go on to receive two Alabama Press Association Awards for her work. \n \nSince she was just seven years old, Natalie began calling into a local Mobile sports station, WNSP 105.5, to share the statistics and scores of football games. She would go on to do this up until her final semester in college, even being a co-host for a few shows. \n \nNatalie attended Cottage Hill Christian Academy, where she played volleyball, golf and basketball. During her senior year, she received a golf scholarship to attend Spring Hill College in her hometown of Mobile, and would go on to receive a bachelor’s degree in communications with a focus in broadcast journalism.\n \nDuring her time at Spring Hill College, Natalie was awarded multiple journalism awards such as two 1st Place Awards in the Catholic Media Awards, a Pinnacle Award and was a Finalist in the Television General News Reporting category in the Society of Professional Journalists' Mark of Excellence Awards. \n \n \nNatalie also has a passion for photography, capturing those short lived moments and turning them into a lifetime of memories. \n \nWhen she is not reporting, she loves to be around family and friends, play sports such as basketball, golf and pickleball. Natalie is also a firm believer in Jesus Christ and credits Him for getting her to where she is today.
