Nathalí is a young woman that many of us know for her presence in the media.
(@nathali.musica) and in music. 

A native Peruvian, she expresses deep gratitude for everything she has received, from her family to the opportunities that have allowed her to grow along the path that have brought her closer to God. "We are beloved children of God."He says with a smile, reflecting his focus on the ultimate goal: heaven, always striving to overcome difficulties with faith and determination.

For more than ten years he has dedicated his life to serve the Lord through music and journalism. As a singer he made his debut in 2014 with a Catholic music group called TaborThe project, which began with other young people from the San Francisco de Borja parish in Lima. 

Inspired by their experience at World Youth Day in Rio 2013, they decided to use their musical talent to evangelize. Nathalí recalls how a friend suggested the name "Tabor" to them, and since then they have taken their music to various communities. Nathalí is also a journalist by profession, and, since 2019, has been a television host at EWTN News, the television network founded by Mother Angelica that has a lot of traction in America. However, she confesses that her arrival in this medium was almost accidental. "I didn't want to go back to the media, I had worked in a channel before." she admits. Her initial goal was to continue in the field of corporate communications, but providence led her to accept an opportunity at EWTN. 

Although she did it with some reluctance at first, Nathalí recognizes that this work has been a gift from God, allowing her to evangelize through her profession.

Encounter with Christ

Throughout her career, Nathali has experienced moments of personal transformation. In 2020, during a retreat called "The Bride of the Lamb," she had a profound reunion with Jesus. "It was as if a blindfold had been removed from my eyes." she confesses. This retreat not only revitalized her spiritual life, but also led her to rediscover her vocation as a singer and journalist. 

Since then, Nathali has seen her work at EWTN not only as a profession, but as an apostolate, an opportunity to carry God's message of love through information and music.

Music has been a constant in Nathalí's life, and her passion for composing began when she was a confirmation catechist. "I want to adore you." was his first song, written more than a decade ago, and remains one of his most beloved compositions. Nathalí mentions that his songs are born out of prayer and, although he is not a musician by profession, he considers each one of them a gift from God. "I give all that the Lord gives me for His service."he says with conviction.

One of Nathalí's most touching anecdotes occurred during a trip to Krakow with her music group Tabor. There, after a performance in a small town called "Manzana Dulce", the hotel concierge, who had attended the concert, approached the members of Tabor visibly moved. He told them how one of their songs, "Renew me today"had touched his heart in such a way that it helped him to turn away from witchcraft and return to God. "Thank you, Lord" ft was all Nathali could say at that moment, recognizing the magnitude of what had happened.

God works wonders when people are willing to do His will.
