Bachelor of Arts (First-Class Honours) in Political Science from Victoria University.

Natalie has been helping organisations to tell their stories for nearly 20 years and officially joined HMC in January 2025 after a year of supporting the team in a contract capacity.  

A born and bred Hamiltonian, Natalie kicked off her career in Australia after university.  She cut her teeth as a political speechwriter before moving into public relations, eventually returning to Auckland where she worked for NZ Police in media relations.

She has led in-house corporate communications and marketing content teams and has strong connections across the Waikato across an array of industries which include real estate, education, health, local government and just about everything in between.  

Words are Natalie's happy place and she loves the pace and variety of agency life, where she looks after an array of commercial and not-for-profit clients.   Highly creative, Natalie loves a good strategy and is the person you want on your team in a crisis or during a large-scale change process.  

She lives in Hamilton East with her husband, their two children and too many animals to mention.  When she’s not in the office, you’ll find her running on the river trails, watching a kid at a skatepark or a dance studio, and/or with her nose in a book. One day she will write her own book, but probably not this year.
