About
Natalie is a CBC News reporter, writer and voice work artist based in Toronto. She has a passion for storytelling and a talent for forging strong relationships. Over the course of 10 years, she's worked in Canada's largest markets, covering everything from politics to social movements to natural disasters. Her speciality lies in explainer videos, housing stories and breaking news. Most recently, she was the lead reporter during the Danforth shooting, sifting through information on the ground to provide reliable, accurate and timely reports for TV, radio and web.
She started her career as editorial assistant rolling a teleprompter for CBC News Network. Within a year, she became a breaking news producer, leading a team of chasers during such global events as the BP oil spill and the uprisings in the Middle East. Her segments on the Norway shooting and the Shafia verdict were submitted for broadcast awards.
In 2012, Natalie moved to Montreal to become an on-air reporter for CTV Montreal. As a bilingual journalist she covered corruption, civil movements such as the Red Square protests, and politics, including the 2015 federal election.
In addition to CBC, she has bylines in The Globe and Mail, Vice News, The Montreal Gazette, Ottawa Citizen, Elle Magazine and The National Post. Her commercial voice work includes ads for major players such as Honda, Loblaws and Audible. When she’s not working, she’s travelling, surfing, painting or doing yoga.

The DJ in the centre of the purple-lit room is playing hip-hop mixed with Sanskrit chants, as about 50 yogis hold the downward dog position. The instructor gently corrects my posture and encourages everyone to sway their hips to the beat. At first glance, the scene looks more like a nightclub than a yoga class, but that’s because Wanderlust is more than a traditional yoga retreat.
