Natalia Abrams is the president and founder of Student Debt Crisis, where she advocates for student loan debt reform, and the creation of lending solutions for all borrowers and students pursuing affordable and accessible higher education.

Natalia Abrams has been on the front lines of the fight for student loan debt reform for well over a decade. Long before others acknowledged student debt as a genuine American crisis, Natalia was raising awareness of the scale of the problem—and working with both borrowers and legislators on lasting, meaningful solutions. From The New York Times to The Wall Street Journal to NPR and countless other outlets, Natalia has been cited as an expert on the immense injustice of the existing system for funding higher education. As president, Natalia continues to direct the SDCC’s overall strategy and fundraising programs—and represent SDCC in media and communications.

A Los Angeles native, Natalia graduated from UCLA.
