About Me
Hello! I’m Natalia.
I’m an anthropologist, comedian, host, & bonafide weirdo. My specialties include:
1. Chasing monkeys.
AND
2. Making science funny!
When I’m not chasing spider monkeys in the forests of Panama or dancing with chickens, I love producing, hosting, & writing hilarious and educational science comedy content for the masses. And I’ve been a comedy writer and correspondent on Neil deGrasse Tyson’s StarTalk, a StarTalk All-Stars podcast host, a regular science correspondent for Thrillist’s Daily Hit, a science expert on History’s UnXplained, and a skeptic on Travel Channel’s Paranormal Caught on Camera. Back in 2013, I co-hosted a show on Spike TV called 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty, was an animal expert on Nat Geo Wild’s Everything You Didn’t Know About Animals, a regular host on Discovery Digital Network’s DNews, Seeker, and TestTube Daily, producer of the web series Talking Shit with Dr. Todd and Natalia & videos about the evolution of boobs, butts, and balls, just to name a few. My goal? I wanna spread science literacy while inducing spit takes
Before I became a scientist, I was an actress. In fact, my first acting gig was playing a Chicken McNugget in a McDonald’s commercial...and I was vegetarian. I did a lot of improv and sketch comedy but I also dabbled in dramatic roles too. And as my good friend Jim Stevens once said to me, “Y’know what makes you so funny? You’re not afraid to look goofy.” Well, he’s not wrong. Here is some of my work through the years.
