During her high school days, she was awarded the highest accolade in both the academic and sporting arena, by being presented with DUX of the school and all-round sportswoman of the year. In 1992 Natalie pursued university studies in the medical field and captained the Australian Indoor Junior Volleyball Team. Presented with the opportunity of Olympic Glory, she moved across to the beach discipline in 1994.

1996 was a successful year for Natalie, winning a silver medal at the World Championships in Brazil and making history with the first ever Olympic BRONZE medal for the sport in Atlanta. After going their separate ways, Natalie and Kerri Pottharst rejoined to realise their dream and win GOLD on Bondi Beach, against all odds, overcoming an aggressive pair of Brazilians.
