Introduction
Hi there, I’m Charlotte Kennett. I am an aspiring comedy writer and performer. I grew up on the East Coast in New Hampshire where I was able to try and fail at a lot of activities. Little did I know down the road these activities would give me a lot of material to play with. I am currently a sophomore at Columbia College Chicago studying Comedy Writing and Performance as well as Writing for Television. I am in a two woman musical improv duo Charaidan and we perform all around the city at venues such as MCL Chicago and The Second City. This year I developed a comedic production company, Chark Sketch Productions. We came out with our first video, J- Nugget, and it was a success. I look forward to expanding the brand and creating more videos. In the fall I will be in the Comedy Studies Program at the Second City. I am looking forward to this experience because I know I will grow a lot in the program. For my mentor interview I was able to interview Horatio Sanz. He was a great person to talk with. He had a lot of great answers and advice for me. I hope to be able to do what I love my whole life like Horatio Sanz does. In the future I really hope to be on the E.T.C. stage at the Second City and I also hope to eventually act or write for a comedy television show. As long as I get to create honest comedy I will be happy.

EXPERIENCE
Host, Fish Bar; Chicago, Illinois — Current

Production Assistant, The Voice; Chicago, Illinois — February of 2015
I was the production assistant to one of the main producers of the show. I was a PA for the audition process. Lots of working with other people and taking orders. Here my leadership skills were honed. I had a lot of responsibility and it was essential for me to work at an efficient pace.
Talent, Stewart Talent; Chicago, Illinois — 2014- present
I signed with Stewart Talent two weeks after moving to Chicago. I have been lucky enough to work within the print, commercial and television industry. I work with all sorts of personalities through this job. I have gained a better understanding of the industry and people as a whole. Here my interpersonal skills grow.
Waiter, Peach’s Restaurant; North Conway, New Hampshire — 2009- 2014
Throughout high school and beyond I was a consistent worker at Peach’s Restaurant. I worked every weekend during the school year and I worked five days a week during the summer. Here I was challenged to pick up the slack where it was needed in a very fast paced work environment. I was taught how to work as an efficient team player. In this specific workplace I had to juggle many things at once. I am very good at clearing and cleaning tables and treating people pleasantly.
Assistant, Dutch Bloemen Winkel; Glen, New Hampshire — Summer of 2010
Here I was a florist’s assistant. I worked in the shop arranging flowers as well as out of the shop setting up weddings. We would go and set up weddings, hanging lights and placing flowers. It was a very hands on job with a lot of physical labor. I gained a lot of leadership skills here because I was in charge of others. I felt my communication muscles strengthening daily. This job showed me what hard work was and how amazing it was to see a difficult project through to the end. I learned how to execute the visions of others.
