Charlotte studied Medieval History at the University of St Andrews before turning to conservation, completing a Masters degree in the conservation of archaeological and museum objects at Durham University. During her training Charlotte undertook a 10-month placement at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds working on complex interventive object treatments and devising new emergency response training for museum staff. After a brief period undertaking conservation housekeeping as a Conservation Assistant for the National Trust, Charlotte worked for English Heritage leading a project to repack the Wharram Percy archaeological collection.

As the Bute/Icon Preventive Conservation Intern with the National Trust for Scotland Charlotte assisted with the upgrade of the Trust-wide environmental monitoring system, worked on writing collection care plans for individual historic properties and supervised and advised on filming and large-scale projects in sensitive historic interiors.
