Team Ambassador
Meet Charlotte, our incredible Team Ambassador! With a passion for motivating and inspiring young athletes, Charlotte is dedicated to helping the next generation discover the joys of sports. She delivers powerful speeches, encouraging young people to get involved and pursue their dreams, both on and off the slopes.
Charlotte’s skiing journey began at just 5 years old on a dry ski slope, where her natural talent quickly shone through. By the time she was 13, she had her first experience skiing on snow, and just two years later, she was selected to represent the England Alpine Ski Team.
At 17, Charlotte claimed the English Championship Title and became one of Britain’s brightest young stars. However, a knee injury temporarily halted her skiing career, forcing her to take a year off. During her recovery, Charlotte studied Sport and Exercise Science at Brighton University, and it was here that she was approached to become a sight guide for disabled athlete Kelly Gallagher. Over the next four years, Charlotte and Kelly trained and raced together, ultimately achieving Britain’s first-ever Winter Paralympic Gold Medal in Alpine skiing. In honor of their remarkable achievement, Charlotte and Kelly were awarded MBEs, presented by Princess Anne.
With a wealth of experience, from starting out in grassroots skiing to reaching the top of the sport, Charlotte is now passionate about coaching and inspiring the next generation. Her journey embodies resilience, hard work, and unwavering dedication—and she’s eager to help young athletes reach their full potential, just as she did.
