My name is Natalie and I'm a researcher and game developer. With my combined interests in research, popular culture, and storytelling, I generate actionable insights that lead to a better entertainment experience.
I am a mixed-methods researcher with training from the London School of Economics (MSc) and the University of Southern California (MA). During work hours, I am a researcher at Netflix, supporting our portfolio of narrative-focused games. During fun hours, I'm a magician, baker, and a wannabe pop culture writer.
My current resume is here.
