During law school, she interned for a criminal defense firm and was part of the criminal defense clinic. Ms. Sahagún is passionate about being able to use her legal knowledge to better the communities we serve.

At Civica Law, Natalie, alongside Matt Silver and Lauren Brown, co-authored two articles. One article focused on how cities can develop a drone program as a cost-effective way to increase enforcement efficiency. Natalie uses her understanding and knowledge of FAA regulations and drones to assist cities with comprehensive drone policies.

The second article discusses the new law, Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act, about how it aims to provide thousands of Californians suffering from untreated mental health and substance use disorders with the support, treatment, and care they need.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, she is well equipped to serve a diverse community.
