A 2012 graduate of Mercer University, Charlotte earned accolades as the Atlantic Sun Defensive Player of the Year and First Team All-Conference.

As founder of Athletes Abroad, she leads all operations with a hands-on approach, working directly with athletes, clubs, brands, and partners to deliver tailored solutions and drive long-term success.

Following her retirement from professional play in 2016, Whitney transitioned into coaching and athlete development. She spent three years at the Swedish National Volleyball High School (RIG Falköping), where she coached across multiple levels of the women’s program, including Elite, B, and C squads. Her leadership extended to the national stage as head coach of Sweden’s U19 Women’s National Team, guiding the team through successful campaigns in NEVZA tournaments and European Championship qualifications.

Now based in Gothenburg, Sweden, Whitney holds a Master’s degree in Communications from the University of Gothenburg. Her combined experience as a professional athlete, high-level coach, and sports manager allows her to bring a holistic, athlete-centered approach to her work. At Athletes Abroad, Whitney works closely with players to provide personalized guidance, leveraging her deep understanding of the European volleyball landscape to help them navigate their careers and reach their full potential.
