Natalia graduated with a Master of Public Administration from ASU and had a passion for public service and activism. She advocated for breast cancer awareness and education, primarily in the latinx community and for people of color. Natalia became involved in the podcast through her advocacy work, starting first after her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis in 2017, then becoming more involved in the metastatic breast cancer community after she received her MBC diagnosis in 2019. She was an integral part of the podcast team, having been a senior producer/host and right-hand woman to Lisa Laudico, our founder. Outside of her activism, Natalia enjoyed the outdoors, traveling (when possible), cooking, and spending time with her husband of 19 years, Danny, their daughter Rosy, son Iggy, and large extended family.

Natalia passed away from MBC at the age of 39 on November 29, 2023. She was a daughter, a mother, and a cousin, holding a special place in the lives of everyone she met. Lastly, she was our friend. We’ll miss hearing her speak with passion about topics she wanted to cover on the podcast, we’ll miss seeing Iggy & Rosy pop their heads into our Monday meetings, but mostly we’ll miss seeing her beautiful smile.

The entire OMBCL podcast team is lovingly dedicating our 8th season to Natalia. We hope it holds a modicum of the impact that Natalia has had on the world.
