Highly experienced in the areas of media relations, networking and digital marketing, fundraising, event management, corporate partnerships, brand development and operations management, Charlotte’s style is energetic and proactive with a focus on collaboration.

Charlotte developed a love for camping during Covid 19 restrictions and is mad for the beaches of Kerry. She loves animals and was inspired by her daughters to rescue, foster and rehome street cats. They kept 4 of them! Charlotte lives in Co Limerick with her husband Nessan, daughter Lucie, and too many pets!
