Charlene moved to Texas from Tennessee in 2020. She went through The Magdalen House as a First Step client in October 2020 and then completed Next Step, and then joined the staff as a First Step Program Coordinator in 2021. In 2022, Charlene was promoted to Lead Program Coordinator and in 2023 to First Step Program Manager. She loves First Step and Next Step because they saved her life from alcoholism, and she is finally free and able to help other alcoholics. She is passionate about recovery and adores the transformation that carrying the message can bring to people with a variety of backgrounds.
She has been married to her best friend for nearly three years after reconnecting on Facebook following their 37-year distance. They have three dogs, two German Shepards named Grace and Max, and a confident, young Malachi named Missy.
