Prior to joining CMS, Natalie was working in Asia and made the move when invited to establish the Hong Kong office of a London-based real estate firm. This later led to her establishing her own property investment company which assisted clients throughout SE Asia. She also launched a division of The New Savvy, a financial investment and career platform in Asia, dedicated to helping women improve their financial well-being and raising awareness of the importance of financial literacy.
In addition to this she managed a programme for Hong Kong-based Splash Foundation, which empowers individuals in under-resourced communities through swimming.
Natalie’s memories of Herts
Natalie took full advantage of the opportunities on offer within Hertfordshire Law School including extracurricular activities like mooting, debating, trips to Inns of Court, as well as attending talks from guest speakers. She says, ‘These opportunities helped me gain confidence and have shaped the person I am now. Herts helped me to see that if you are willing to dedicate your time and commitment, then many other doors will open for you.’
Her favourite extracurricular activity was being involved in the mooting team as she competed across the UK. She says, ‘The skills I learned while on the mooting team are invaluable and the overall experience was fantastic. These experiences have been extremely beneficial throughout my career and provided me with the knowledge and confidence to speak in public, research, and shape a legal argument.’
