Charity graduated from Juneau-Douglas High School and stayed in Juneau to support her community. She spent about eight years working with people with physical and intellectual disabilities before moving into the mental health field as the Program Associate for the Juneau Suicide Prevention Coalition (JSPC).
Having received mental health support and seen how it benefited her family, Charity discovered a passion for using her experiences to help others. She earned a Behavioral Health Associate certificate from UAS during her first year of employment. Now, as the Youth Program Coordinator, she’s focused on educating and supporting local youth and hopes to continue learning and growing in the mental health field.
When she’s not working, Charity loves spending time outdoors with her little family. She enjoys paddling around Auke Bay to explore tiny islands and beach comb, especially when the weather’s nice. She’s an animal lover with dreams of owning a farm someday. Charity also has a knack for crafting, DIY projects, and organizing.
