== Personal life == At 4 years old Natalie asked her mom to take her to gymnastics class. At the time she was enrolled in a daycare that had stretch time with the piano teacher. She told her mom that she had a very flexible back and that she should try rhythmic gymnastics. Natalie went to her first trial class in 2015. Her dream is to establish herself as an international gymnast.[2]
