Natalie Susi is a teacher by heart, a writer by trade, and an entrepreneur by choice. A former English and writing teacher, Natalie Susi founded Bare Organic Mixers after she was laid off in the CA budget cuts from her position as a teacher at San Diego State University. In 2009, Natalie decided to explore the world of entrepreneurialism when she recognized a large gap in the marketplace for low-calorie, all-natural cocktails. She navigated the sourcing, bottling, manufacturing, and distribution process and created Bare Organic Mixers. In 2014, Bare was acquired by a leading natural foods company and Natalie continued to work with the company as the face of the brand.
