She has grown immensely as the BHTA has evolved, embracing new challenges with determination and a desire to see the projects that she takes on, culminate into unprecedented successes.

“She has displayed tenacity, fortitude and professionalism in her role as administrator, thereby playing an essential role alongside a small cadre of fellow employees, in her organization’s ability to achieve its goals.

“Charlotte is intrinsically motivated and displays considerable proficiency in her ability to guide and nurture young Bahamian professionals who interact with her in varying capacities; for example, she has made in an indelible mark on the lives of many young, burgeoning professionals who participate in international competitions.
