Natalie Castaneda-Johnson joined Echo Horizon School in August 2023. She earned a B.A. from Pacific Oaks College in Human Development with a focus in Early Childhood Education, and she is currently working toward her Master’s Degree in Human Development with a focus in Social Justice. She has worked at Cassidy Preschool, The Willows Community School and Turning Point School. She is extremely excited to have found Echo Horizon, a school with so much diversity.

Natalie was born and raised in the neighborhood (just six blocks from the school!).  As a child she spent summers in Mexico, running free on the dairy farms owned by her father’s brothers. Now, as an adult, she likes to visit Death Valley with her husband and spend time with her cat and two dogs.
