Chelsea is originally from Possum Trot, Kentucky. She moved to Louisville in 2009 to attend the University of Louisville, where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Art History and a Master of Arts in Higher Education Administration. Chelsea served as the Project Coordinator for a low-income scholarship program at the University of Louisville and spent some time in the nonprofit sector as the Community Engagement Manager for a local food bank before joining the Bellarmine team. As a first-generation student from a low-income background herself, Chelsea is passionate about education equity and creating student success initiatives to support underrepresented student populations.
