Meet Nat — the person behind many of the Lady Sentinel posts that pop up in your feed. She helps manage Lady Sentinel’s social media, capturing moments from classes, events, and everyday training that reflect what this community is really about: learning, growth, and supporting one another.

We thought it’d be fun to share a little more about Nat, in her own words.

How would you describe yourself to someone meeting you for the first time?

“I’m pretty friendly and easy to talk to, but I tend to listen more than I talk at first — I like to get a feel for things before really jumping in. I’m curious about people and always down to learn something new. Oh, and if we start talking about food or travel? Yeah, I’m all in.”

What usually catches your attention when you’re observing a group or event?

“I’m kind of a people-watcher in the best way. I pick up on the energy in the room — who’s vibing, who might need a little boost, and those small, unscripted moments that end up being way more memorable than the big, flashy stuff.”

Is there a Lady Sentinel moment that’s stuck with you?

“What really gets me is how supportive everyone is. The loud cheering at competitions is great, but so are those smaller conversations where someone shares advice or a different way of looking at things. That genuine ‘we all want each other to win’ energy really sticks.”

What’s something you’ve learned about yourself recently?

“I’ve gotten better at actively looking for the positive angle in any situation. Instead of reacting when things go sideways, I try to step back and ask what I can take from it. It’s helped me stay more level-headed and make better decisions.”

How do you like to spend a totally free day?

“Golf, hanging with my dogs, cooking something ambitious, getting lost in a good book, hiking, or trying a new restaurant. Add travel into the mix and I’m happy.”

Has your role at Lady Sentinel helped you grow?

“Stepping into a leadership role has pushed me out of my comfort zone in good ways. I’ve had to be more visible, more communicative, and a little braver about sharing ideas — and that confidence has carried into other parts of my life too.”

Nat is grateful to be part of a community that values learning, encouragement, and showing up for one another — both on and off the range.
