“I'm drawn to Charlie Health because I believe it will revolutionize access to care, breaking down barriers and providing vital support to families across all kinds of communities. From a young age, I've faced battles with my mental health. Growing up in rural South Dakota, I witnessed the severe lack of mental health care options. As I've traversed the Midwest, I've seen similar struggles in various communities. My purpose, both personally and professionally, is to close the gap in services for those who are underserved and be a voice for those who are not able to advocate for themselves.”
