Forbes Names Riverside’s Charlotte Smith for This Year’s 30 Under 30 List
Forbes unveiled its 10th annual Under 30 List for 2022 early this December, recognizing 600 disruptors across 20 different categories, who are reshaping industries and reimagining business around the world.
Smith, a 29-year-old Policy Communications Manager for Google in Washington, D.C., is included in this year’s list for her important work shaping Google’s 2020 election integrity policies and for advocating for communicators of color within Google.
Smith graduated from Harvard in 2014 with a B.A. in Government and is a proud graduate of RUSD public schools, including Riverside Poly High School, Matthew Gage Middle School, and Alcott Elementary School.
Smith started with Google five years ago and has worked in a variety of roles, including leading external media relations for Google’s education, product, infrastructure, and policy initiatives with media contacts across the country.
Smith worked for Burson-Marsteller, a global PR agency in D.C. before joining Google. Her parents, Jim and Carol Smith, live in the Riverside area, and have for more than 20 years.
Carol, Smith's mother, is a teacher at Alcott Elementary School and her father Jim worked in local government – including for the City of Riverside – for many years.
