Upon graduation from boarding school, she moved to New York for college and graduated from the City University of New York with a BA in Biochemistry. Dr. Charles became interested in dentistry after coming from a mission trip in South Africa, where she shadowed oral surgeons working with patients who suffered from cleft lip and palate. This happened to be the summer before she enrolled in dental school.
