Personal life Natalia Pallu-Neves was born on 12 June 2004 in London, England. Her parents, who were born in Curitiba and Salvador in Brazil, moved to England before her birth.

They started their competitive season at the Lombardia Trophy Challenger where they finished at 15th, achieving a new official personal best. In October, they competed at the Swiss Open Trophy, where a historical mark was achieved as they managed to get the necessary minimum technical scores for a Four Continents Championships entry, the first ever for Brazil. They also managed to get their World Championships minimum technical scores, although for the free dance only. In February, Pallu-Neves and Panesar became the first Brazilian ice dance team to ever compete at an ISU Championship after their 14th place finish at the 2024 Four Continents Championships. At the 2024 Challenge Cup, they finished in 10th place; they were short of the minimum technical score for the World Championships in the rhythm dance by less than a point.
