Chelsey grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina and now lives in Charlotte. She's the youngest of three siblings in a close-knit family that splits its roots between North Carolina and Michigan. These days, her home life is anchored by her 72-pound mutt, Fig — who has the soulful energy of Eeyore but is the best companion she could ask for. If there's water nearby, that's where you'll find Chelsey — whether she's swimming, kayaking, or out on a paddleboard with Fig as her surprisingly graceful first mate. She's also an avid camper, hiker, arts enthusiast, and proponent of sustainable living. Fun fact: she's a self-proclaimed 'hole-in-the-wall' restaurant connoisseur with a digital map of hidden gems across NC. Chelsey's motivation stems from a deep love for her community — she believes every family deserves a reliable safety net, and she became an agent to merge her passion for community advocacy with a practical way to help her neighbors protect what they love most.
