“I used to be a teen who would have benefitted from Charlie Health's services for my own struggles. Then, I was a clinician who would have benefitted from Charlie Health's services for my clients. It's been my life's work to get people connected to quality mental healthcare, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue doing so with Charlie Health!”

“My education is based in public health. I pursued the fitness side of health out of college and realized that the physical side wasn't as significant as the mental side. Being introduced to Charlie Health made me reflect on the community around me that has had trauma, lost a parent, or even taken their own life. The realization that there have been minimal outlets for even some of my closest friends drove me to want to work for Charlie Health. ”

“I have found great purpose, throughout my public health career, in finding ways to hurdle the overall health accessibility obstacle. In college I experienced and saw first hand how lack of access, time, and knowledge can spiral someone's mental health into something that could’ve been preventable. That is why I am motivated to spread the awareness of what Charlie Health has to offer in the mental healthcare space!”
