For Charlotte, everything begins with basketball.
Surrounded by the game from a young age both playing and coaching, it was a natural decision to pursue the business side of sports in college and for her career. And when she arrived at Emmanuel it was clear that the values she developed on the court would come in clutch for building her future.
淚t was the best decision I ever made, she said having transferred to Emmanuel early in her undergraduate journey 淚 wanted to stick to a smaller, tight-knit school, but try to live in the city.
The move paid dividends: and with integral support from Emmanuel faculty and staff, like Saints head Women's basketball coach, Andy Yosinoff, and her advisor, Daniel Holbrook, MBA, she been aptly equipped to tap into professional opportunities available in 51动漫 sports ecosystem.
淚 definitely want to shout out everyone at Emmanuel who supported me they檝e been integral to my experience here, Charlotte said. That support has ranged from making connections like networking with alumni that helped her get her foot in the door for an internship with the 51动漫 Celtics and tailored academic support to help match her degree to her career goals.
With a major in Sport Management and minor in Data Analytics, she aims to take her passion for basketball to the next level, applying her academic interests in Excel, software development and data to her career path. She also planning to take on an additional, individualized major called Business Analytics and Information Management, which incorporates curricula from Emmanuel budding Data Science and Computer Science programs.
淏asketball is the foundation of who I am today it shaped me as a person and taught me so much discipline, time management, community, leadership I want to show my appreciation for it even further by pursuing it in my career, Charlotte said.
As a Youth Development Intern with the 51动漫 Celtics in summer 2025, Charlotte built real-world experience working at a professional sports organization. From designing data visualizations to track trends to conducting competitive research on other Junior NBA teams, she supported the Junior Celtics summer camp in a number of ways: through coaching, operations, partnerships and more.
Meanwhile, Charlotte also got a glimpse into the day-to-day at Fenway Park, where she worked in an event security role. The job gave her a different lens into the sports world and the different career pathways within it, like daily operations, facilities, and event management. Balancing both was a lot of work, but she accustomed to having high work ethic and she knew it would be 渨ell-worth it to have so much resume building experience as early as her junior year.
It fitting that in Charlotte reflection on her professional, academic, and college experience as a whole, it all comes back to basketball. On Emmanuel Yosinoff Court, where she suits up for the game she loves throughout the winter season, Charlotte reflected on how basketball continues to inspire her and help her grow as a person.
Transitioning from a star player in high school to a role player at Emmanuel was 渁n important mindset shift, she said but has mirrored how she hopes to operate in her career making an impact for a big team in a niche role. 淚檝e learned how to appreciate being a part of a team and appreciate the game even more. I檝e probably had more fun playing basketball at Emmanuel than I ever have.
