Natalie is a third year Master's of Divinity student at Yale Divinity School and a candidate for ordination in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). A proud Midwesterner- Natalie grew up in Bloomington, IL and later went to the University of Indianapolis, where she studied Psychology and Religion. During her time in divinity school, Natalie took an interest in creative liturgy, nature-based spirituality, and justice work. Natalie aspires to do ministry as a university chaplain someday, but if that doesn't work out, she would be just as happy living on the beach and enjoying her new-found love for surfing.
