Natalie Lodean, Editor

As an editor at Growth Machine, Natalie specializes in business, legal, and financial editing. She has worked as a fact-checker, a research editor, a proofreader, and a reporter in the past. As a kid, she envisioned one day becoming an investigative reporter like her cartoon hero, Lois Lane. 

Yet when she started her first editing job, she couldn’t believe she could get paid to read—and learn about the world—all day long. She has also found that she really enjoys working with writers to create the best possible article every time.

Natalie lives in the Chicago suburbs. When she has a free day, you’ll find her studying up on her latest historical obsession (from World War I letters home to the six wives of Henry VIII) or trying out new recipes for fruit-based desserts.
