From 2010 to 2013, she served as the coordinator of cultural projects at the NGO Escola de Gente – Comunicação em Inclusão, where she managed initiatives focused on accessibility for people with disabilities across fifteen Brazilian states. One of her notable achievements during this period was the conceptualization, fundraising, and coordination of the "I Accessible Theater Exhibition" (2012), which offered free accessible theater performances to audiences in Rio de Janeiro. Between 2022 and 2024, Natália coordinated the ETA Festival! and the IV Accessible Theater Exhibition, and she is currently leading the production of the V Accessible Theater Exhibition. Both initiatives are organized by Escola de Gente and underscore the importance of inclusion in the arts.
