Chelsea began her career in national service as an AmeriCorps Member with City Year Boston, where she spent her service year supporting fourth-grade students in both academic and social-emotional learning. Her work extended beyond the classroom—leading student council initiatives, promoting anti-bullying campaigns, and contributing to the City Year blog through the Red Jacket Reporters program. This formative experience in service fueled her passion for equity, education, and community impact.

After City Year, she transitioned into the world of talent acquisition, bringing the same heart-forward approach to helping others find meaningful career paths. Directly after her service year, she started in the realm of talent acquisition, working within a staffing agency for three years, holding multiple roles that assisted job seekers with finding placement. For the past five years, she has been working as a Talent Acquisition Ambassador at Boston Children's Hospital, where she manages the full-cycle hiring process and partners closely with managers to find and onboard exceptional talent.

Since 2024, she has also partnered with the Workforce Development and Internal Mobility teams to help the internal workforce grow and hire community members who may otherwise have barriers to employment.  With a foundation in service and a career rooted in human connection, she remains committed to service and opening doors for others in the workforce and in the community.
