"I've known Natalie her whole life and have had the privilege of watching her grow and mature into the professional business woman she is today. Natalie participated in gymnastics at my gym from a beginner recreational gymnast through to a very successful, dedicated, high level, competitive gymnast. I also had the opportunity to have her teach and coach all levels of gymnastics at my gym. She was very passionate as an athlete as well as an instructor. Any gymnastics facility would be lucky to have her on their staff. I am so happy for her and any future families she will positively impact through her new gym. Gymnastics can be so rewarding and shape young children into strong, coordinated, disciplined, and well rounded young adults. I believe Natalie is a great example of that and will be a great role model for the young athletes in her program. She is so excited about this new chapter in her life and I feel lucky to be included in her excitement and passion! It's a honor to get to watch her bring her long time love of the sport full circle. Natalie will have the ability to shape and impact young lives in a positive way."
