Charity has been at Coastline for almost four years. There are so many reasons she loves serving at Coastline, but getting to connect with women at different ages and stages is her favorite part.

They have three kids, Sophie, Leah, and Isaiah, and they are in the middle school and elementary school phases of parenting. She is a huge beach fan so living in Ventura is the dream life. She enjoys sea glass hunting, reading, and coffee (which she considers to be a hobby!). A random fact about Charity is that she loves to travel outside of the US. She has been to at least twelve countries and can't wait to add more to that list.
