Meet the Team

Charity began her career as a Counselor III with North Central Florida’s largest community behavioral health provider, traveling with adult and adolescent psychiatrists to provide mental health services and resources to rural communities. She then transitioned into the field of child welfare and became a Family Care Counselor. While working with families involved in the state dependency system, she would critically assess for child safety and work to seek family permanency, all while providing support to minimize the risks of abuse and neglect to the most vulnerable of populations. Prior to joining IAAME, Charity worked at Partnership for Strong Families, the local community based care child welfare agency of North Central Florida, as a Family Service Facilitator. Her duties included assessing for appropriate needs, authorizing and coordinating resources, and collaborating with community providers – all in order to provide children and families specialized services during their involvement with the dependency system. Charity holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Family, Youth, and Community Sciences, with a specialization in Human Services, from the University of Florida.
