“Ferdie”
Natalie loves connecting people and places. As Engagement Manager for Bike Walk RVA, she builds partnerships, rallies community support, and advocates for safer, more accessible spaces for everyone to bike and walk. She’s all about getting people excited to move — and making it easier for them to do it.
A proud VCU Ram with degrees in Journalism and Public Relations, Natalie blends her communication chops with her love of the outdoors to inspire active living across the region. She’s a member of the RVA Racing cycling team and is happiest on two wheels, especially when she’s mountain biking with her husband. When she’s not riding, you’ll find her swimming, lifting, flowing through yoga, or relaxing on a sunny patio after a day on the trails.

Favorite non-Sports Backers Event? “Tour de Pocahontas Mountainbike Race, amazing trails at my favorite park, I’ve been racing for years and it serves as a benchmark for me to gauge my fitness every spring.”
