Natalie Stone is a self-described logophile, Natalie was a junior in high school when she made it her goal to one day become an editor. After studying journalism in college, she worked as a journalist at The Hollywood Reporter and People magazine before joining Nice News as the brand’s first hire in December 2021. She believes words matter and strives to deliver top-quality, unifying content to readers every day. In her free time, Natalie enjoys checking out new coffee shops and restaurants (particularly mom and pops), traveling, playing volleyball, and testing out new Half Baked Harvest recipes in her kitchen. She is based in Southern California.

Prior to joining Nice News as the brand’s second hire, Ally Mauch got a degree in journalism and worked as an entertainment reporter and freelance writer. She has a passion for service journalism that truly serves and, via Nice News, a desire to showcase humanity’s inherent goodness. Her favorite thing about the job is hearing about all the ways Nice News’ optimistic outlook on the world has helped readers. Outside of writing the daily newsletter, Ally can be found jogging along Lake Michigan, exploring Chicago’s restaurants, and cooking for friends.

Pivoting from true crime and investigative journalism, Marika Price Spitulski turned her love of good news into a career writing for nonprofits and mission-centered businesses. Now, she’s thrilled to contribute to Nice News and hopes to continue sharing stories of kindness and reasons (big and small) to look forward to the future. Her work has been published on NBC News and The Everymom, among others.
