Natalie Ann Nelson Miranda

My prior experience working with special needs children provides a unique perspective in cases involving students with disabilities and special education law. My experience working first hand with differently abled people makes me a natural choice for supplemental needs planning. I am fluent in Spanish, allowing Shaw & Associates to provide service to a diverse population of Kentuckians.

I am a 2020 graduate of the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law, magna cum laude. Some of the awards I received during law school are the Leon Seidman Memorial Fund Award and Cali Awards in Lawyering Skills, Civil Procedure, and Environmental Law classes. I was also a First-Year Oral Advocacy Competition Top 8 Finalist. I was a member and Notes Editor of the University of Louisville Law Review, as well as an Academic Fellow through the Success Skills Group Leader Public Service Fellowship. Further, during law school, I interned with the Kentucky Innocence Project, worked with the Louisville Metro. Public Defender's Appellate Division through the Greenbaum Public Service Program Fellowship, and completed an externship for the Honorable Regina S. Edwards of the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky.

Prior to law school, I graduated magna cum laude from Bellarmine University, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts with a double major in Music Technology and Piano Pedagogy, as well as a minor in Spanish. I am an avid traveler, having studied abroad in Quito, Ecuador, visiting Machu Picchu during my time in South America, teaching English in Madrid, Spain, and exploring from Europe to Morocco.

I am admitted to practice law in Kentucky, and am seeking admission to Ohio.
