| Creative Partnerships Lead, Co.school.
Charlotte is a skilled facilitator and community cultivator, collaborating with people across North America and the United Kingdom.
She brings a posture of curiosity and inquiry into her work of co-creating thoughtfully and intentionally designed spaces, where people can make meaningful personal and collective change. Charlotte has facilitated for teams across multiple sectors including non-profits, technology, higher education, and healthcare.
In her current season of life, Charlotte identifies most with being a mother and cultivating an intentional home with her family. The practices of co-creation and innovation could not be more apparent than in the realm of raising tiny humans, which she does alongside her husband on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) people (presently Vancouver, BC).
