“I had the pleasure of working with Natalie for three months in Naval Recruit District New York before I reported for flight school. Upon first meeting her I became observant of her unprecedented work ethic as an Officer Recruiter. Naval Recruit District New York is located in the most densely populated area in the country and has an insurmountable influx of applicants. Not only does Natalie find and screen the most qualified applicants to become future Naval Officers in that concentrated populous but recruits candidates in numbers far beyond what is required. Her tenacious work effort and weekends spent at the office speaks volumes of her dedication to recruit the finest quality Officers and send them to the fleet. Natalie unconditionally epitomizes the Navy's core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. I firmly believe that Natalie’s work ethic and mentorship is an invaluable asset that will serve herself and all others well in her future endeavors."
- Greg Swift, Naval Aviator
“Nataile is one the most diligent and hardworking individuals I have met. Her motivation, commitment and leadership skills are mind-blowing. She’s always available to provide you with great feedback and mentorship for any possible scenario. Certainly, she perfectly exemplifies what a naval officer is and what we stand for. A pleasure to have you as my colleague.”
- Eduardo Hernández-Calo, MPH, DrPH, Environmental Health Officer
“Natalie has been an incredible guide throughout the U.S. Navy recruiting and selection process. It is very clear that she cares about you specifically and your future career in serving this country. No surprise that she regularly ranks at the top! I would be honored to serve alongside her if given the opportunity.”

“By far the most competent, dedicated, results-driven recruiter with whom I had the pleasure of interfacing across any branch of the military.”

“My time spent with Natalie was fantastic. Though brief, Natalie took me under her wing from the moment I walked in the door. Her professionalism, attention to detail, drive, and desire are second to none, and the lessons and mentorship that I received will stick with me for the rest of my career. Working with Natalie was a pleasure, and I would take any opportunity without hesitation to do so again.”
- Tim Lafferty, Surface Warfare Officer
"Natalie is one of the best Naval Officers I have met so far. Because she has been persistent from start to finish for my direct commission officer package. She is approachable, confident, easy to talk to, and with a get the job done attitude. She works late nights and on the weekends to make sure all officer candidates have the required documents on or before deadlines. Natalie is reliable and someone we can count on to get the job done regardless of the obstacles. When others want to give up, she will keep pushing until the end!
I am super thankful to have Natalie as my re-enlistment Officer in the Navy Reserves and as my Recruiter for Direct Commission Officer. She is the type you wish there would be more like her around because of her enthusiasm, personality, professionalism, respect, and drive."

I am privileged and glad to have met and worked with Natalie.”
- John Jalandoni, Product Development Professional
“I was fortunate to meet Natalie at a college career fair. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and, above all else, passionate about both the Navy and NUPOC Program. From my first medical form through my official swearing in, Natalie was consistently prompt with paperwork, thorough with instruction, and a wonderful role model for a female candidate aspiring to serve on a submarine. She is committed to the success of every recruit, demonstrated through her amazing success serving the New York area. I know her focus, determination and outstanding work ethic will make her an invaluable asset to any team or organization. I could not be more thankful to have had her as an officer recruiter and am proud to serve alongside her."
