Hi, I'm Natalie

Natalie is a true example of what can be achieved with determination and ambition. Despite her current position as an Associate Software Engineer, I believe she performs at a higher level. In her line of work as a Software Engineer, Natalie never stops pushing herself, picking up new abilities and taking on challenges. While Natalie and I were working on a previous project, there were gaps in our technical leadership. Natalie stepped in right away and played the dual position of tech lead and developer. Even in unfamiliar situations, she shows initiative and courage by leveraging others to get information and direction she needs to complete her tasks. Natalie is also an efficient and transparent communicator who meets deadlines and welcomes feedback. If given the choice, I will always choose her to be part of my project teams. Natalie is poised to become a lead Software Engineer and is a valuable member of the RealDecoy team!

Natalie has only been with us for about 6 months in an *** role, but has already proven her leadership abilities on the projects that she has been involved in. Natalie is a great problem solver, someone who doesn’t wait to be told what to do or wait for work to be assigned to her.... She has supported her fellow colleagues who technically have more development experience than she does. She has broken down multiple tickets; done plenty of research/troubleshooting on technical issues.... And as a new ***, she has spent plenty of late nights in the office to support project deliverables. Natalie exudes all the leadership qualities we look for at *** and is very deserving of this award. In the short time that Natalie has been with ***, she has proven that she is a natural born leader! Natalie joined the *** team as a replacement for *** who was needed for another project. She learned the ins and outs of *** and applied all that she learnt to build out the *** website. Natalie not only applied her knowledge, but she applied herself from the *very beginning* assisting with leading this aspect of the project.... Natalie began creating and assigning tickets to herself and then to other team members who later joined the team. Natalie is a servant leader who gets involved but also supports her teammates. I have also seen her delegate, follow up, remove blockers, and provide technical solutions to problems her teammates encounter when required. Natalie communicates clearly, promptly and it is amazing how she takes initiative! She consistently leads by example and to top it off, she does so with great poise. Natalie should be commended for her leadership and what better way to do that, than with this *** Award!!!
