Soon after graduating from Ryerson University’s Acting Program, Natalie got her first big break. She was cast as the Lead in CBC’s “At The Hotel”, a series created and directed by Ken Finkleman.

Natalie is currently shooting “Fairfield Road” in which she stars opposite Jesse Metcalfe.
Natalie grew up on Vancouver Island, B.C. and, as a teenager, was a Provincial High Jump Champion. She currently lives in Toronto and sometimes finds herself pining for the Pacific and all the beauty of British Columbia
HER SPRING TALE: “Shooting Spring was such a delightfully weird experience. All of the crew were so cool, and laid back and everyone seemed genuinely tickled by the project. I think that my greatest epiphany came half way through the first day when I realized that (writer/director) Lynne was my character. So, instead of really listening to what she was saying when she gave me direction, I started watching how she was saying it. And that was my performance!..I don’t know how happy she would be to hear that…but it was fantastic! I wish that I could always have the actual person who I was playing on set to give me notes on my performance of playing them! Thanks to Lynne for being such a righteous dude!!”
-cheers, nat
SPRING NOTE: Nat is a righteous dude by her own right. She comes to set prepared to play. She was so game on Spring, she suggested we knock her noggin with the ball – classic comedy! Everyone can’t wait to work with her again.
