Communications & Fundraiser Coordinator
Chelsea is the newest member of the Northumberland United Way team. She graduated from Conestoga College with her Bachelor of Public Relations. Before starting at United Way, Chelsea worked for not-for-profit organizations in the Durham Region including Habitat for Humanity and Simcoe Hall Settlement House. Having worked in a food bank during the COVID-19 pandemic, Chelsea saw firsthand the reality that not all individuals and families have access to adequate food, shelter, and clothing. This experience ignited her passion for making a difference in her community.
Chelsea is looking forward to meeting with individuals and businesses in Northumberland County to help tell their stories. When Chelsea is not working, you can find her walking her dogs or doing yoga.
Contact Chelsea if you would like more information on events or media.
