About Chelsea
|
Chelsea grew up in a small town in Hawaii called Kahalu'u where the tradewinds bring rain almost every day, the chickens cluck from sun up til sun down, and small town charm and aloha are abound. She attended Punahou School in Manoa, Hawaii for 13 years; a private school with a public mission. This experience and dedication to service shaped Chelsea into the educator, trainer, designer, and content creator that she would later become. While at school, Chelsea gravitated towards learning about linguistics, French, Spanish, Japanese, German, language pedagogy, sociology, and other courses that helped to shape her to be a global citizen. Through her studies she gravitated towards a desire to work with other people to help them to reach new heights and unlock new information. After she graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, with a Bachelor of Arts degree double majoring in French Language, and Second Language Studies, she went on to work with Teach for America as a corps member teaching sixth grade students at Wheeler Middle School in Wahiawa, Hawaii. In 2016, upon completion of her commitment to Teach for America, and having earned her Master of Science degree in Secondary Education from Johns Hopkins University. She moved to San Diego, California where she continued her work with Achieve3000 as an Professional Services Director, instructing and training teachers and other key stakeholders on how to successfully implement Achieve3000's online platform and student success program. From there she moved to Maryland where she shifted to the government sector. Working with Cybervance, Inc., she has supported a contract within CMS to design and develop internal training and communications for their Incident Management Team.
