Hailing from Chicago, IL., Natalie Koetsier is an extraverted writer and Michigan native. Graduating from Loyola University Chicago with a BA in English creative writing and minor in advertising, Natalie values effective storytelling, clear communication, innovative thinking, and to never stop learning. 

Previously, Natalie has held experiences as a copy editor for an award-winning newspaper and as a resident assistant. Most recently, Natalie worked on a social media team and as a sports writer covering the Detroit Lions, where her articles were the magazine’s top 3 most-viewed articles for the month of November. 

Natalie is ecstatic to join Webb’s admissions team and connect prospective Webbies to this exceptional school. She has been around boats her whole life, and some of her favorite family memories are on the family boat in Spring Lake, MI. Natalie is also the proud big sister of Mitchell Koetsier, who is a part of the Webb Institute class of ‘28.

For 10 years, Natalie was a competitive gymnast who won the all-around and the balance beam national title. She still has some gymnastics tricks up her sleeve so do not challenge her to a dance off. For fun, she likes to go on walks, where she can admire water views and/or architecture.
