Natalie believes the work Jack.org is doing to educate, ignite, and empower youth will fundamentally change the mental health landscape and have a lasting impact. After recognizing and tackling her own mental health struggles, she is honoured to be part of the revolution. As the Interim VP, Fund Development (Individual Giving), Natalie leads the Individual Giving fundraising team (major events, major gifts, and community giving), which provides meaningful ways for people to give and get involved. The conversation about mental health has never been so loud; Natalie's goal is to harness that noise and people's desire to do something good to raise critical funds for youth mental health. In her spare time, Natalie takes her dog, Riggs, on adventures, exploring the city, or finding dog-friendly patios.
