Charlotte is from Atlanta, Georgia and studied Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech prior to starting medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. Her experiences growing up amidst Atlanta’s 11-year life expectancy gap piqued her interest in urban public health, particularly as it relates to challenges in housing and public education. She is passionate about promoting STEM experiences in under-represented communities and has enjoyed maintaining longitudinal relationships with students over the years. She joined the UpLIFT Team in pursuit of paying forward the mentorship and resources granted to her during her own application cycle.
