Nataly spent 10 years in foster care, overcoming challenges including homelessness, an abusive relationship, and mental health struggles. As the first in her family to graduate from college, she earned three associate degrees and is now pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Social Work. With encouragement from her CASA, Nataly discovered her passion for advocating for children and families and hopes to create positive change in the foster care system. She dreams of becoming a foster mother and opening a rescue farm where animals can find safety and love. Through her resilience and compassion, Nataly hopes to inspire others and show that their past does not define their future.
