Natalie Kalb
Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Mercadito Hospitality
Meet our friend Natalie Kalb who is the Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Mercadito Hospitality. Natalie has been in the kitchen from a very young age! The combination of aromas from the cooking of her Jewish grandmother and the foods of her native Mexico seduced Natalie Kalb into the kitchen. At age 10 she was already spending long hours making tortillas, salsas, and baking cookies. Her interest in all aspects of food only grew stronger as the years passed, making her decision to pursue a degree in nutrition a very easy one. She entered Universidad Iberoamericana (Mexico) in 1995 and obtained a degree in Nutrition and Food Service in 2000.
In 2001 Kalb moved to New York City to take her education to the next level. She enrolled in New York University, where she graduated with a Master’s of Arts in Food Studies and Restaurant Management.Upon graduating from NYU, Kalb’s exploration propelled her into Slow Food USA, a non-profit organization, where she worked in the marketing, membership, and event planning department. After several valuable years in the non-profit world, she began her foray into the private sector by working with Chef Richard Sandoval, a renowned chef with over 20 restaurants worldwide. Kalb’s role as the Marketing Director amplified the business status and increasing revenue setting the company’s standards for future growth.
