Charlotte is passionate about advancing social and racial justice with participatory research methods, systems-level analysis, and an equity lens. She is excited to leverage these tools and others in partnership with organizations working to address complex social issues. 

Before joining ORS Impact in September 2021, Charlotte worked at the University of Illinois at Chicago managing implementation science research projects focused on improving racial and mental health equity within the juvenile justice and family court systems. She also worked at MIT’s Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) and served a year as an AmeriCorps VISTA member at a non-profit organization in Boston.

She received her Bachelor’s degree in Hispanic Studies from Macalester College and Master’s degree from the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice where she was a research assistant for Dr. Matthew Epperson and the Smart Decarceration Project. In her free time, Charlotte enjoys making trips to the library, knitting, and spending time with friends and family.
