When she’s not working or traveling, Natalie enjoys perusing for new restaurants and cuisines, listening to live music, dancing, karaokeing, shopping, playing volleyball, binge-watching TV shows, and trying to be artsy.
Natalie has served as co-President of the Asian American Journalists Association's Texas Chapter since 2018 and is a member of the Texas Exes Houston Chapter.
Natalie looks forward to meeting and serving the great people of Houston.
