Bio
Anthony Winn, JD MPA
Ms. Chinn is a highly capable and dedicated individual, whom I have enjoyed working with on leadership and policy issues, while we were both served as student leaders elected by our fellow law students. Beyond her high achievement as a student (where she was among the top in our class), Charlene is an extremely capable manager who operates well under pressure and stressful demands - while at all times her demeanor and disposition remains steady and dependable. Any person or organization that is fortunate to work with Charlene will be well served and strengthened by her efforts and intellect.
Destini K. Bowman
Bright and determined, Charlene managed one of the largest moot court competitions in the region. Charlene was organized and planned the details of her event(s) in advance. In addition to selecting judges, obtaining competition space, and securing meals for participants, Charlene recruited competitors from NY, CT and MA law schools. When unexpected events threatened her competition, Charlene put a smile on her face, remained professional, and successfully pulled off a stressful competition. Charlene was a great support system to have on the board. She is a team player and a pleasure to work with.
