Before moving to Burlington, Charlie grew up in the middle of densely populated New Jersey. She graduated from Champlain College with a B.S. in professional writing and a minor in psychology. During her time at Champlain’s Women and Gender Center and Office of Diversity and Inclusion, she found a voice for social justice and the tools to navigate intersecting identities. Charlie is a lover of fiction and drama, and you can often find her watching any form of live entertainment, be it a stage play, musical, comedy show, or concert. When she isn’t watching feel-good TV shows or working on her own writing, Charlie enjoys hiking and skiing the mountains of Vermont and hanging out with her tuxedo cats, Sylvester and Figaro.
