A former teacher, Natalie's Master's thesis in Education looked at bringing social justice issues into the classroom to foster active, engaged citizens. She brings this passion for education and human connection with her to CPJ and looks forward to building collaborative learning communities that foster solidarity, compassion, and justice.

She envisions a church united in God’s call to love our neighbour, living in faithful witness of the gospel of reconciliation and renewal.
