Natalie is the co-founder of an international student-led initiative called “NeuraHope”, which aims to educate women about neural tube defects (NTD’s). The idea for this initiative came during the 2023 Data Science Final Project week, as Natalie had learned about this issue and was alarmed by its high occurrence in Hispanics (since she herself is Hispanic). As a result, she worked alongside her teammates to develop a website with data visualizations and information for women about NTD’s. In October, alongside her KWK alumni friend, Jasmine, she started an instagram to continue the project that has reached 1200+ people. They are presenting to their communities in February, held their own contest, and plan to interview CDC professionals about this issue.
