What MENTEE's SAY
"Natalie became a part of my life at six years of age when I began my music journey learning the piano. It wasn't long before Natalie and I started speaking to each other more than in the language of music, but in a level that went beyond the keys!
Natalie understood that my journey was our journey where together we both learned and celebrated the rewards of perseverance, discipline and patience. Natalie to this day is still a role model, guide and friend.
Anyone would be lucky to experience the energy Natalie shares and even more lucky to be mentored by her!"
WHAT EMPLOYERS SAY
Chris McDermott
I remember thinking how lucky we are to have such an amazing woman work with our community.
Natalie has always been an inspirational person - words I recall when speaking of her include 'pocket rocket', 'brilliant', 'endless energy', 'talent in bucket loads', 'terrific with kids', 'wonderful with peers'.
She is the kind of person and teacher I would employ in a heartbeat. She is the very best.
