.089 Charlotte Dillon
When Charlotte started at The Met, it felt as if an easygoing and kind breeze had come through the door. She immediately gave off this sense of strength in her intelligence combined with a superbly approachable personality, both of which I deeply appreciated then and now. Charlotte has a knack for making the most complicated problems simpler and for finding efficiency in any process. I would constantly come to her for help because I knew she’d have a direction forward.
At work, Charlotte really did provide a unique viewpoint and perspective that allowed for so many initiatives to be better and grow. She’s super smart and wonderful at verbalizing the ideas in her head. She’s compassionate in her delivery and genuinely cares about bringing in as many voices and thoughts to make things as well thought out as possible. Charlotte also has the loveliest giggle-laugh, something that made every day better and something I would of course try to get out of her through my ridiculous puns and stories. She always had such a great sense of humor and would never take life or work too seriously.
Charlotte, thank you so much for bringing such joy to me during our time as we crossed paths at the museum. Thank you for being so willing to listen and for being so thoughtful in everything you do. Thank you for kindness and support and for always being a rational sounding board whenever I needed to chat. I’m so grateful to have met you and to still have you in my life, and I just really appreciated our time together. Thank you, Charlotte, for being you.
