She suffered an unhappy triad injury (torn ACL, MCL and meniscus) her junior year that required surgery and physical therapy. Her rehabilitation initially sparked her interest in physical therapy. After working alongside her physical therapist, Natalie regained the skills and confidence she needed to compete at a higher level. She went on to play four years of Division 1 soccer at Houston Baptist University where she helped the team win the 2014 Southland Conference Tournament Championship and received her Bachelor of Science-Kinesiology degree. She graduated from University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2019. She has a heart and passion for helping others and loves that her career allows her to do so on a daily basis. Natalie loves wakeboarding, hiking, and anything else that involves the outdoors. Natalie also loves her Senegal parrot and will pet every dog she sees.
