Natalie grew up in Lakeland, Florida and lived in Florida until starting residency. She attended Florida State University and majored in Biological Sciences. She decided to stay in Tallahassee for four more years and complete her medical education at FSU College of Medicine. Natalie made this choice because of the school’s emphasis on primary care and underserved populations. Towards the end of medical school, Natalie was ready for an adventure and decided to move to a new state. She is pleased to have matched at EJGH Family Medicine Residency Program. The staff, faculty, and residents are supportive and welcoming, as well as hard-working. Natalie’s interests include, traveling and going on road trips, running, yoga, trying new restaurants, and exploring New Orleans. She is passionate about primary care and preventive medicine. She also has a particular interest in mental health and providing care to the underserved, and she looks forward to integrating this into her future practice.
