​Over the past 18 years, Natalie was a familiar presence at the fairgrounds, often seen in her 4-H shirt and ever changing hair color. Her contributions have primarily been behind the scenes, where she coordinated show bills and collaborated with volunteers to organize various 4-H events at the fair. These events have included the Rocket Launch, Ag Olympix, 4-H Extravaganza, Communications Day, Fashion Day, and, at different times throughout her career, all of the animal shows.

Natalie began her career with Boone County ISU Extension & Outreach in 2007. Having grown up in Marion County, she was actively involved in both 4-H and FFA for ten years before dedicating 18 years to planning 4-H fair events in Boone County.

Currently, Natalie is utilizing her skills at Iowa State University, where she assists college students in organizing their club events, while also planning ClubFest and the Alternative Breaks program.
