Dive Instructor/Medical
Natalie grew up in central Illinois, developing a love for the outdoors at an early age. This interest led her to pursue a degree in environmental sciences at the University of Wyoming, where she spent most of her free time backpacking and climbing around the Intermountain West. While in college, Natalie discovered her love of sailing and diving when she joined Seamester as a student in 2021, sailing from Antigua to Fiji.
After finishing her degree, Natalie worked in outdoor education, sailed on various tall ships in California, and traveled through Southeast Asia. Most recently, she completed her PADI OWSI and several specialty instructor certifications. Aside from diving, you’ll find her reading, cooking, or walking her dog, Ella. Natalie is excited to join ActionQuest this summer and looks forward to sharing her love of the marine environment!
