Hey, I’m Chelsea.
I’m not traditional in any sense so if you’re ready to create something new or shake things up that are “just the way it’s always been” for too long, let’s do this.
Now for the spiel— I’m a passionate nonprofit leader and seasoned marketing professional committed to making your job easier and your mission and impact clear. I founded a nonprofit and continue to run it so when I say “I feel that,” know that I mean it. I love this work, truly. It brings me joy and energy, and well, I’m good at it because of that.
You can visit my services page to get an idea of the work I do. However, I am someone who enjoys exploring and expanding so let’s still connect even if your needs aren't listed on the page. If anything, we can make a new and likely meaningful connection.
Want to get to know me personally? Feel free to follow along on my adventures (literally, I’m a solo traveler working from all corners of the world) on my personal IG. (business links below)
