With an extensive background in graphic design, Charlotte joined Cornwall Air Ambulance in February 2018 as our Design and Marketing Content officer. Originally from Berkshire, she previously worked for Ambleglow – a design and marketing agency in Maidenhead until she came to Cornwall in 2011 on maternity leave and made the decision to relocate here.

Following relocation, she continued to work for Ambleglow remotely from her home in Cornwall for a further 7 years, commuting to Maidenhead on a regular basis, but with the birth of her second child, made the decision to find a new challenge closer to home.

When she’s not running after her two children, Charlotte spends her spare time doing ballet and street dance and has an eclectic music taste.

Outside of work, Kate enjoys exploring the beautiful Cornish coastline, cooking up a curry, enjoying a cold pint on the beach and visiting animal shelters - resisting the urge to rehome all the dogs! When not in Cornwall, she spends her time in Dorset with her crazy labradoodle.
