Charlotte’s writing has been called lyrical, hilarious, and haunting— sometimes all within the same breath. She specializes in stories of growth, because she says, “that part of life never really stops, does it?”

With a background in design and photography, Charlotte adroitly focuses with a cinematographic lens. Her multi-medium approach to writing earned her the award for Best Essay from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association in 2016.

She lives in Chicago with her partner and their taxidermied roommate, Sully the Buck.
