Hi, I’m Natalie.

I’m an Austin-area education expert and a parent to young children. My goal is to de-mystify, de-complicate, and de-stress your family’s PK-12 school selection process.

Professionally, I spent five years in San Francisco working in finance and at a VC-backed startup managing client relationships. After attending graduate school and returning to Texas, I spent four years building the K-8 program at Alpha, one of Austin’s private schools. I also worked at the Texas Education Agency, helping districts implement innovative academic programs and increase options for families.

Personally, I’ve spent the last half-decade meticulously researching and visiting Central Austin’s PK-12 schools to find the right social, intellectual, and philosophical fit for my four children.

I grew up in Houston, where I attended public schools. I went on to get a Bachelor’s Degree from Rice University and an MBA and Master’s of Education from Stanford University.
