Charlotte made her stage debut at Shanklin Theatre at the age of eight, and joined the National Youth Musical Theatre at 16. She trained in musical theatre at the prestigious Guildford School of Acting, graduating in 2000, when she did a Masters degree in creative writing graduating with a distinction. in 2015 she took on the role of teacher, teaching Drama at Sandown Bay Academy (was Sandown High School) on the Isle of Wight. Charlotte's life to date is an explosion of ideas followed up, of scripts not just thought of but written, produced and performed, of a voice with possibilities still to explore and acting potential to be honed by gifted directors such as Tony Wright, who has directed her in Christmas Carol and My Fair Lady. A review described her Eliza as 'mesmerising' and 'phenomenal'.
