Natalie Warila

Assistant Director, Career Strategies

Natalie Warila (she/her) has been with the CSE Team since October of 2017.  She was initially hired through Beacon Hill Staffing Agency to assist the Engagement Team, but transitioned over to Career Strategies in April of 2018 due to her newfound love of student-facing activities and communications.  Her favorite contributions to the CSE are the weekly CSE Newsletter, CSE Orientation Session, the design of the Pre-Arrival LATTE Course and resume/cover letter guides, and the founding of the annual Present Yourself! Professional Presentation Week.

She is also self-titled “Most Likely to Stalk You on LinkedIn after Graduation” due to her work with the Employment Reporting data collection.

Previously, Natalie worked as a Marketing Assistant and Social Media Manager at the International in Bolton, a wedding and events destination, conference center, hotel, restaurant and golf club.

Natalie holds a Master of Science in Digital Marketing and Design from Brandeis Graduate Professional Studies. She graduated undergrad from University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in February of 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.  She is especially passionate about creative projects, despite having minimal artistic skills (although she was formerly a freelance photographer).  She also loves to read and is willing to discuss any tv show with anyone, anytime.
