More about Charlie

Charlie appreciates the importance of work-life balance. In her spare time, you’ll find her in the mountains rock climbing, camping, hiking, admiring trees, exploring new places on spontaneous day trips and sharing meals in the company of friends. She’s also recently taken up painting, the messier the better.
