She and her siblings stayed in Los Angeles for five years. In 2005, she completed her graduation from the ‘Northwestern University’ majoring in theatre and communications.

Her initial appearance in films happened as a child artist featuring as Annie Forman in the 1986 American blockbuster comedy-drama ‘Heartburn’ starring her mother and Jack Nicholson. She was credited as Natalie Stern in it to dodge media curiosity. She received positive review from ‘New York Times’.

‘Mr. Marmalade’, staged at ‘Laura Pels Theatre’ in New York City from 2005 to 2006, earned her the ‘Theatre World Award’ as Best Supporting Actress in 2006. That year, she worked in two films, ‘Hoax’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’, although her scene in the later was finally deleted.

Her portrayal as Erica in ‘The Water's Edge’ that was staged at the ‘Second Stage Theatre’ in New York City in 2006 garnered her ‘Lucille Lortel Award’ nomination in 2007.
