Natally Boutros

Natally is a first-generation Chaldean American born and raised in Michigan. She was born in the year 2000. Being a child of an immigrant family, she understands the hardships a first-generation American child faces growing up. Not only that, but she understands how it feels to be a female through it all. She was often pushed away from "petty" passions and hobbies as the people closest to her saw no value in them. Throughout grade school, Natally chased her passions which included theatre, singing, and video production. She enjoyed creating short films that showcased her talent. She participated in on-stage musical productions of Grease, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and more. She participated in the Michigan solo and ensemble festival, in high school, 3 years in a row where she received a superior medal her last 2 years. Solo & Ensemble Festival is an opportunity for individual students from member schools to perform a selection of their choice to be judged by professionals in the space. After grade school, Natally went on to successfully attain a bachelor's degree in Marketing in only three years from Oakland University and works full time as a Digital/Content Marketing Manager. In college, she produced, wrote, and directed a short film showcasing the stigma surrounding mental illness. While it wasn't a professional production, it showcases the talent and passion Natally has for acting and film production. She used any opportunity as a chance to let her passions shine. She's also building a name with her fiance, Rob, called "YouShip." Together they create couple comedy content via TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. After working consistently on their account for one month, they reached nearly 80 thousand followers. Natally has high hopes for the future of YouShip and continues to work hard to reach new goals. They hope to build a successful career together that continues to flourish.
