Bio
Colleen Quinn Schroeder
It's difficult to recommend Natalie enough. She's smart, adaptable and a pleasure to be around. Natalie brings a can-do attitude to everything she does. In our time together I was able to see her operate as an account person as well as a producer and that flexibility in her capabilities helped her become someone that can field all sorts of curve balls. And she does it all with a smile - not even making that up - her resting face is a smile. She's a bright star of a person and I hope to cross professional paths with her again.
