About Create Good
_Podcast_:
The Create Good podcast is a conversation with change makers and rabble-rousers to find out what makes them tick and how they create good. We created the podcast because we were missing the connections and community that came from conferences and gatherings. Our goal is to share some awesome nonprofit folks with the community. Subscribe to follow along.
_Event_:
Create Good started as a conference, the first one was in 2017, to gather nonprofit communications leaders creating breakthrough work and share them in a fun and inspiring space. Like everyone else, we had to pivot due to the pandemic. We moved the conference online and this year we are pivoting again to a series of webinars and podcast. We are hoping to return to our in-person conference in 2023.

About Charlotte:
I am the Assistant Director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) where I have the privilege of helping people get answers to their questions about vaccines and vaccine safety. In addition to answering questions directly, I spend my days writing and designing informational resources; creating programs for various audiences; strategizing new ways to disseminate accurate, science-based information; and guiding our dedicated team. At its heart, our effort is one of science communication, a critical, yet oft overlooked, component of the scientific enterprise.
As a first-generation college student from a small town in rural Pennsylvania, I received a Bachelor’s degree in biology with a minor in chemistry from Wilkes University (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania). After graduation, I started working at CHOP, where a two-year commitment to work in the research lab of Dr. Paul Offit led to almost three decades of working with one of today’s most gifted science communicators. During my early years at CHOP, I studied rotavirus immunology and microencapsulation as a potential means for effective vaccine delivery. As vaccine safety concerns increased in the late 1990s, Dr. Offit — feeling that the voice of the scientist was missing in vaccine safety conversations — invited me to embark on the journey of creating the Vaccine Education Center, which has been the focus of my efforts for more than 20 years.
This month (March 2022), I finished a Master’s degree in Communication at Drexel University. My concentration was science and health communication, and I also completed a minor in higher education.
