Hello all! I’m Nat, and I am so excited to be joining the Mind by Design community.

I’ve dedicated the last 6 years to working in the education field, specifically in elementary schools. Currently, I serve as the Literacy Specialist at Mind by Design, a role I embrace with passion and dedication. What excites me about being part of the MBD team is getting to work individually with students to enhance their confidence and joy around reading. I’m committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

I embarked on my journey in the education field working as an instructional aide before becoming a elementary school teacher. Since then, I have worked with students to find mastery and joy in being a learner, especially in their literacy skills! As an educator, I find joy in collaborating with other educators, parents, and clients to tailor my sessions percisely to what each client needs. What keeps me motivated? That “lightbulb,” I-got-it! moment when a skill finally clients for a client.
