Charlotte began writing for The Durham Tab in August 2025 as News Editor. She then got promoted to EIC in July 2026. Her notable pieces include: Five Durham Scholarship Students Trapped in Gaza, a study into state vs privately educated students, and the Durham Union Mock Election. Others ranged from Reform Uk cuts to Pride, QS World Ranking scores, and more lighthearted features on fashion, cafes and Durham nightlife. More broadly, Charlotte has a range of experience in writing from data annotation to editing. She volunteers for a youth group at home supporting disabled children to make friends. Charlotte is involved in lots of charity and fundraising work too, and is very involved in the Durham community through her many endeavours.
After completing her A-Levels in English Literature, History and Politics, Charlotte began studying at Durham University, enrolling in a Combined Honours course. She is a finalist student at University College (Castle), and an aspiring journalist too, if that wasn't obvious already!
