Charlotte Rea, in her fifth season as Brandeis's diving coach, is one of the top divers in Brandeis history, ranking in the top three of nearly every major diving category in the Judges’ record book. She posted NCAA Division III Championship qualifying marks in each of her four seasons competing for the Judges. Rea won the New England championship at one meter as a freshman, reached the finals at both one- and three-meters at the University Athletic Association championships as a sophomore and claiming All-UAA honors at one-meter as a senior. She was presented with an Athletic Director’s Award for general athletic excellence after her senior campaign.

After graduating from Brandeis in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in theater arts, Rea has coached with several high school programs, including Framingham, Holliston, Hopkinton and Wakefield High Schools. She also recently had the opportunity to participate in a 10-day training trip to China, where she was able to observe some of the world’s top divers and diving programs.
