Natalie McCollum | Founder & Writer at NMC Media/EMBARK Magazine

Natalie McCollum is the founder of NMC Media and publisher of EMBARK Magazine, a high-style publication dedicated to promoting the yachting lifestyle, industry, and events through engaging editorial and standout visual storytelling.

With over 15 years of experience in luxury hospitality, PR, and marketing, Natalie’s career spans diverse roles—from working at National Geographic Television to coaching figure skaters. Her passion for storytelling and connecting communities led her to launch EMBARK, which debuted at the 2024 Newport Beach International Boat Show. Since then, the magazine has expanded to include editions for San Diego, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond.

Fluent in English, French, and German, Natalie draws from her global upbringing and deep roots in Southern California’s marine scene to produce meaningful content. She is committed to elevating the profile of yachting through digital innovation, private label publications, and event-focused features.

Now based in Texas, Natalie travels frequently to cover yacht shows and collaborate with industry leaders. Whether through floristry, editorial content, or consulting, her mission remains the same: to spotlight the people and stories that make the yachting world thrive.
