Natalie originally grew up in Des Monies, Iowa and moved to Arkansas in 2008 with her family during high school. During her senior year of high school, she met her husband, Trevor, and they have been married for 7 years! Natalie and Trevor spend most of their time chasing around their 3-year-old son and their 2 fur babies, Theo (Yorkipoo) and Ella (Goldendoodle). They had a baby girl in May 2020! When they aren’t chasing around their kiddos, they enjoy cheering for the Denver Broncos or just relaxing at home.


Natalie graduated John Brown University with a Bachelors of Science with a Major in Business Administration. In 2018 the position for Assistant Director opened up at her son’s daycare, Raising Hope Preschool and Daycare. She felt God calling her to leave her position at JB Hunt and directing her down an entirely different career path. After becoming the Assistant Director, Natalie had to go back to school and graduated from NWACC with her Child Development Associate (CDA) to fulfill DHS Licensing Requirements to become the Assistant Director. Natalie’s next goal is to graduate with a Masters in Teaching. In June 2019, God opened another door and Natalie became the Director of Raising Hope Preschool and Daycare. Natalie’s passion is to raise up the next generation with teaching kids about God and showing them His love.
