I graduated from UCF in 2004 with a BA in Psychology and a minor in Criminal Justice. In 2007 I also graduated from UCF with my MS in Criminal Justice. While pursuing my undergraduate degree I took classes such as Sex Crimes and various Women's Studies classes and quickly realized what I wanted to do: assist victims of crime.
While working on completing my undergraduate career I volunteered for an on campus agency, Victim Services. Through my experience there I was able to work with victims and really able to see what goes during the aftermath of a victimization. After graduation, I was offered a full time position as a Victim Advocate. Some of my responsibilities have included presenting information on various topics to classes, clubs/ organizations, staff meetings, trainings, etc., working with victims of crime on a 24/7 basis, supervising the Intern/ Volunteer program and event planning. All of which has given a great basis for my upcoming job as an Advocate for the Office of the Attorney General in their Child Predator CyberCrime Unit.
I am originally from England and moved to sunny Florida in 2000. I love to travel and spend as much time as possible with my family and friends.
When asked what advice she would give to students, Charlotte said: "one of the most important things that students at UCF should know is that having an Internship and/ or volunteer hours on their resume are essential into finding a job after graduation. Employers will look for this as it shows commitment and interest. Good luck!"
