Ms. Charlie has been a valued member of the AcademyOne team since 2022 and holds her Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. She is passionate about working with young children and finds immense joy in watching them grow and develop—especially in the Twos classroom, where her heart truly feels full. Charlie loves the excitement and connection she shares with her students, from the smiles on their faces when they see her to the pride she feels as she teaches them new skills and watches their confidence blossom.

Outside of work, Charlie enjoys spending quality time with her husband, particularly when they’re outdoors. Together, they love off-roading in their jeep and exploring the woods, always looking for their next adventure. Charlie is also a creative at heart and has a strong passion for painting. A fun fact about her: she loves skateboarding and enjoys cruising along the Scioto Mile on her longboard, taking in the views by the river.

Reading has always held a special place in Charlie’s heart. Her favorite children’s book is No, David, which she fondly remembers reading with her little brother, David. More recently, she has discovered Belly Button Boy and has grown especially fond of the Pete the Cat series, enjoying how these stories bring laughter, creativity, and connection into the classroom.

Charlie’s favorite quote, which reflects her approach to teaching and life, is by Ms. Frizzle:
“Take chances, make mistakes, get messy.”
