Natalie Taylor (she/her), Volunteer Coordinator

Natalie is originally from Indiana, and she has been in Salt Lake City since 2022. She grew up visiting family in Utah, and always knew she wanted to live here someday.

She loves learning about fun wildlife facts, so tell her about your favorite animals!

Natalie has been with NHMU since July 2022. As the Volunteer Coordinator, she is the first point of contact for volunteers. She handles recruiting and on-boarding new volunteers, scheduling volunteers for special events, and everything from getting you your earned guest passes to helping you branch out into new areas of the Museum. You'll get frequent emails from her, because she wants to keep you up to date on what's happening at NHMU! Don't hesitate to reach out for anything you need - Natalie is here for you!

She's been with NHMU since September, 2015. As the Community Programs Manager, she oversees the big-picture coordination and planning for the Volunteer Program - things like planning volunteer recognition programs, building community partnerships for volunteer recruitment, and training NHMU staff on working with volunteers.

She's happy to help you with any issues you're having as a volunteer, so feel free to email, call, or come see her any time. And yes, her last name really is O'Saurus.
