When asked what she’s awesome at, Charlene replied, “In my time away from work, I have been blessed for 12 years to be an awesome mom to my fur baby girl and recently added a brand new human baby girl. When it comes to work, I strive to maintain a level of awesome at showing compassion and meeting my clients where they are in their walk to help them achieve their goals.”

“I never really know what to say as a fun fact about me because I try to live everyday to the fullest and always try to have fun in everything I do. However, my default answer, when I have to provide one fun fact is that I took a selfie with a wild hyena while I was on a school trip in South Africa.”
