Charlotte is from Norwalk, Connecticut. She graduated from Oberlin College with a major in comparative American studies and a minor in Hispanic studies. Charlotte focused her studies on understanding healthcare access in the U.S., culminating in a senior honors thesis that investigated narratives about addiction and motherhood in contemporary America. At Oberlin, Charlotte worked as a peer counselor in the school’s Sexual Information Center (SIC), where she organized campus-wide events such as Safer Sex Week and taught a comprehensive sexual health education course. She also worked as a Writing Associate in the Oberlin College Writing Center, which—in conjunction with her work for the SIC—helped Charlotte develop a passion for peer counseling and education. Prior to joining GHC, she taught English in the health careers branch of an adult vocational school in A Coruña, Spain. In her free time, Charlotte enjoys traveling, playing tennis, and reveling in the current golden age of television.
