Guest & Presenter on the Mind
Over Matter Show , Actor, &
Disability Advocate Talks With
Us About Disability and Acting
Hi, my name is Natascha. I am a
learning-disabled actress based
in screen acting films and the tv
industry. I have Foetal Alcohol
Syndrome, ADHD, Autism, and
many other disabilities.
My agent is Matt Zina. I do not
let my learning disabilities get in
the way of my acting career.
Around filming on set, I do
inspirational videos on social
media to raise awareness of my
learning disabilities, bullying,
and mental health awareness
topics. I help people to have a
positive mindset, never to stop
reaching for their dreams and
never to give up hope.
We are all unique in our ways and
should not have to change for
anyone.
I started my acting career at a young
age by competing in the disability
swimming championship, but as I
got older, I decided to depart from
competition swimming and focus
more on my acting career because I
enjoyed it more and it was too much
doing two things at once.
