Natalie is the President and CEO of Coro California, the unified statewide organization formed through the historic merger of Coro Northern and Southern California. For nearly a decade, she served as President and CEO of Coro Southern California, where she advanced a new strategic vision, expanded programs and partnerships, increased revenue, and built a dynamic alumni community driving impact across the region. Building on that foundation, Natalie led the complex integration of the two Coro organizations, creating Coro California and positioning it to develop ethical and effective leaders statewide with greater scale, alignment, and transformational impact.
Prior to Coro, Natalie served at the California Women’s Law Center, advancing the rights of women and girls through impact litigation, public policy advocacy, and legal education. She previously worked as a Staff Attorney and Dickran Tevrizian Fellow at Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County, where she represented survivors of domestic violence, supported impact litigation – including a successful appeal in Montagner v. Montagner – and led extensive community outreach and legal education efforts.
Earlier in her career, Natalie was a Labor and Employment litigator at Rutan & Tucker, LLP, where she also engaged deeply in pro bono advocacy, successfully representing an asylum seeker before the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Before entering the legal profession, she worked as a Human Capital Consultant in Deloitte & Touche LLP’s Public Sector practice.
Natalie holds a Juris Doctor from UCLA School of Law, a Master of Science from Carnegie Mellon University’s Heinz School of Public Policy & Management, and a Bachelor of Arts from UCLA.
