Natalie brings experience in program management as well as social and economic justice at the federal level to her work at First 5 Sonoma County. A frequent visitor to the county, she made a permanent move here in 2018 to be closer to family, closer to nature, and closer to local avenues to build healthy and equitable communities. Copies of the latest coloring works and home-grown musical productions sent from her 7 and 5 year old niece and nephew keep her inspired about this work and the possibilities for the next generation.
