Natalie was born and raised on a cattle ranch in  South West Montana. She received her degree in pharmacy and worked as a full time pharmacist until relocating to Nebraska when she married her husband - a Nebraska rancher.

A self taught entrepreneur Natalie pivoted from the world of pharmacy to the online world when she co founded a direct to consumer beef business with a childhood friend. It was then she was introduced to the power of social media as a marketing tool - and as they say, the rest is history. 

In a short 5 years Natalie has created an online community of over 145K, co-founded the top ranked food podcast Discover Ag, created an apparel line, spoken on ag stages across the nation, hosted business retreats for female rural entrepreneurs, co-founded Elevate Ag, an online course and community for producers to learn to effectively market themselves online, and is in the beginning stages of starting a docu series centered around connecting viewers back to the origins of food. 

She and he husband Luke ranch in the Nebraska Sandhills with their three sons (Tad, Jaks, and Rue) and when she is not pioneering conversations on her podcast, or sharing her ranching and familying story online you can find her out on horseback in pasture or cruising around in a ranger with her family checking cows.
