Natalie Kotkin

Born and raised in central Connecticut, Natalie has now managed to live along almost the entire Northeast Corridor. She most recently served as special adviser to Philadelphia’s Health Commissioner, where she worked to improve outcomes for children by reducing lead poisoning, removing environmental asthma triggers and addressing social determinants of health. Before moving to the City of Brotherly Love, Natalie spent two years developing and implementing healthcare access programs at the Mayor’s Office in New York City. She began her career as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company in Washington, D.C., and later in London. Natalie spent the summer at the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services. There, she supported policy development and implementation of the Flexible Services Program, which will use Medicaid funding to connect residents with housing and nutrition services. In her spare time, Natalie is on a quest to visit every Major League Baseball stadium and U.S. National Park.
