“As one of the earliest contributors to STEMed Labs, Nati was instrumental in helping us get the organization off the ground and launch our first summer program. Whether in her role as a founding board member or ongoing advisor, she has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to bring strategic and creative ideas to the table. At the same time, she compliments big picture thinking with the willingness to roll her sleeves up and help get things done. That rare combination of skills along with her tenacity, passion for improving education, professionalism, and entrepreneurial experience make Nati a valuable asset to any team trying to change the status quo through innovation, whether that’s within an early stage company or an established organization. ”

“I got to work with Nati for about 7 months at an EdTech startup where we were defining the company’s mission, developing the product, and selling all at the same time.
Nati was always able to see the big picture: what the marketplace needed, what would help them, and how to get there, and she was also capable at seeing what needed to get done now and just go ahead and do it. She is an incredible team member, able and willing to coach, coax, guide, lead, follow, and do whenever appropriate.”

“Y’all made a huge impact on my life and I want to remind you all how grateful I am for having had the TSA experience. ”

“Nati supported FreshSchools through the early stage funding process. She helped develop the pitch deck and messaging for investors and our target customers. With Nati’s guidance, FreshSchools secured capital to get us to the next stage of product marketing and outreach.”

“I have had the pleasure to work with Nati on a couple of projects over the past couple of years. Nati is definitely the person that I go to when things need to be executed in an efficient manner. Her experience in ed tech, startups and innovation definitely make her a valuable asset to any team. I highly recommend Nati to anyone looking for the skills and experience that she possesses.”

“I served as a Lead Instructor at MakerSquare alongside Nati in her role as Student Experience Manager. We worked closely together to ensure the academic and personal wellbeing of students. During our time together, I witnessed Nati adeptly handle many sensitive situations. She proved to be an effective mediator and had a keen ability to communicate information among stakeholders. I deeply admire her ability to bring out the best in students, and her commitment to their personal and technical growth was repeatedly highlighted by students at graduation. Beyond her role supporting students, Nati was an amazing strategist. Numerous times she helped guide important decisions by refocusing our team on core values and critically evaluating options. Given the opportunity, I would love to work with Nati again.”
