Interests: ArchaeologyBorn in Vermont and relocated to the Caribbean island of St. Kitts before age two, Charlotte Robinson has always had a unique relationship with her environment. Family expeditions through the mountain rainforests of St. Kitts served as early lessons in environmental stewardship and history, sparking a lifelong curiosity about the legacy of historic communities, evidenced by remnants like sugar plantations and sherds of ceramics.
Furthering her academic journey, Robinson enrolled at the University of Central Florida (UCF), where she received her BA and MA in Anthropology. Driven by a focus on the archaeological subfield, she expanded her technical capability, earning certifications in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Native American Studies.

While at UCF, Robinson engaged in local archaeological endeavors in Cape Canaveral and the Ocala National Forest and international pursuits in Turkey and Bolivia.
Currently enrolled in the Museum Research Traineeship program at the University of New Mexico, Robinson is working on developing her dissertation project.
