Kaitlin Jeffries

Hello, my name is Kaitlin (or Katy, even though this is still two syllables and arguably doesn’t qualify as a nick-name). I am a study bug, and cleaning and organising are my hobbies.... I do however, have one common interest with the average-Jo, which is the ability to binge-watch multiple series in my not so spare time. I’m looking forward to contributing to Charlie, but I am only a hobby writer and am a naturally sensitive person, so negative criticism hurts my ego. “Stay away from negative people, they have a problem for every solution” – Yoda (only kidding, it’s Einstein).
