Her vast knowledge of causes and consequences of behaviors unique to the workings of the adolescent brain informs not only her teaching, but her true passion to make a difference in the lives of students. Deeply understanding the developmental stages of children gives Charle a unique perspective on how to help educators and parents. She truly is, and will be, a change-maker.”

“I have worked with Charle for over 10 years. Charle has always been the consummate professional person. She is kind, witty, caring, and down-to-earth. My daughter has had the pleasure of having her as a classroom teacher and when asked to describe her said, “She is sweet and very empathetic, and you always feel safe confiding in her. She listens intently and helps you to find solutions to make things better.” Charle is a lifelong learner. She approaches all projects with enthusiasm. Charle is the type of person who will seek out the quietest person in the room and make them feel like a million dollars for coming out and showing up. She is a phenomenal educator in every way. Our lives shine a bit brighter for having known her!”
