Charlotte was hired as the Water Program Manager for the Planning
and Conservation League in January 2007.
In addition to learning how to gracefully navigate the halls
of the Capitol, Charlotte advocates for responsible water planning
and management. In particular, she is interested in adaptive
water management for climate change and the protection of the
state's public trust uses. Initially, in 2005, Charlotte came
to the Golden State as an AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer to facilitate
and write grants for community-based projects, such as alternative
energy system development and forest stewardship collaboration.
With VISTA, she became enchanted with the expansive Sierra
in her backyard and the "facilitation" process.
Charlotte graduated from Hamilton College with a concentration
in Biology, after completing her senior thesis project, a species
introduction plan for rare Lepidoptera. The following summer,
during an internship at The Nature Conservancy in Washington
D.C., Charlotte realized that she enjoyed talking to people more
than butterflies, and she also discovered her conviction to influence
the political realm from her scientific foundation. Before EUREKA
became her state motto, Charlotte lived in Wyoming, and worked
for the Jackson Hole Land Trust. |
