Natalie went above and beyond in her educational and professional career. Her first degree is an associate’s in Healthcare Information Technology, she then advanced her career by becoming an EMR Consultant. While doing so, she began her studies in becoming COMPTIA+ Certified. Following this, Natalie began her Bachelors of Arts Degree. Her coworkers described her as a “beacon of light”. Natalie embodies strength. Her children recognize her as a hardworking business woman, who always put everyone first before herself. She would compress her own problems, so she wouldn’t look weak. Natalie’s children and family watched her work her way up and elevate herself with dignity, but most of all she was a good mother with a pure heart. Willing to sacrifice everything she had to make sure her children had what they need. She worked hard and raised her children to be the same as her. Natalie was a very popular person but also very private, many people will never understand the most authentic parts of her and what she had to sacrifice. Natalie’s children acknowledge her as a woman who showed fortitude during the toughest of times. She’s recognized as a mother with skills in determination, courage, integrity, love, and bravery. Natalie had an excellent drive in raising her kids to be the most successful and courageous they can be. Natalie will be remembered forever
