My name is Nat! I am an actor and theatre artist pursuing my BFA in musical theatre at Penn State University, where I am currently a senior - huh!? It has been an honor to spend these last three years with my thirteen wonderful classmates - GO PSUMT 2026!
I was born in Texas, raised in Arizona, and grew up in Chicago. I also spent two amazing years attending Interlochen Arts Academy in Northern Michigan as a musical theatre major, class of 2022. My current home is, of course, the Happy Valley. I look forward to moving to New York City post-graduation, something I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid.
Outside of school, you can find me reading some literary fiction, piling clothes into a cart at my local thrift store, or cooking up something new in the kitchen. I am also big a cat lover - BeeBee, Benny, and Belle are my three cats back home who I love with all my heart.
This summer, I was a part of the premiere production of True Crime Frankenstein, a co-production between Penn State Centre Stage, Concord Theatricals and Penn State Musical Theatre, directed by John Simpkins with music and lyrics by Matt Cox and Eli Bolin!
This past spring, I was in the ensemble of Love's Labour's Lost at Penn State University, under the direction of Christine O'Grady! I understudied the roles of Rosaline and Maria.
I spent last summer in the company of Results Will Vary, Penn State's sketch comedy musical that every new student attends as part of the orientation programming. Click here to check out our interview with the PSU president!
Last spring, I played Hope Cladwell in Penn State's production of Urinetown, directed by David Kersnar and choregraphed by Natalie Malotke. Click here for production footage!
