Charlie is a Course Assistant on the Content Creatives scheme held by SharpFutures and partnered with Channel 4. She grew up in Blackpool and lived in Manchester before starting her creative journey studying Scriptwriting for Film & TV at Bournemouth University. Though Charlie enjoyed learning about the craft of story, she felt lost in herself. So after graduating, Charlie decided to pursue her dream of moving to Japan where she immersed herself into the culture working as an Assistant Language Teacher.

Coming back in 2020 during the pandemic, Charlie wanted to make the best use of her time and boost her skills as entry-level creative media jobs and schemes were sparse or postponed. In September 2020, she enrolled as a Master’s student in Media Production (TV Drama Strand) at University of Salford. It was during this time she had the opportunity to find her artistic voice by writing/directing her own short films and creative content. Alongside her studies, she worked as a runner at Red Production Company Ltd., and as a POD member for SharpFutures.

Now a Master’s graduate, Charlie is committed to bringing more unique storytelling on our screens and elevating diversity within the creative sector.
