Raised in Cary, NC, Chelsea knew she wanted to work as a pediatric OT when she was in high school. She received her bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sports Science from Meredith College in 2019. At Meredith, Chelsea worked with the Meredith Autism Program and loved working with the children there. She has worked as a summer camp counselor at Victory Junction inclusion camp, at the Autism Society as a behavior technician, at The Town of Cary as an inclusion counselor, and at Emerge (Durham) as a Therapy Aide! Chelsea received her master’s degree in occupational therapy from ECU in 2022. She loves how OT can holistically help individuals and families find ways to live and enjoy life to the fullest! Outside of OT, Chelsea enjoys trying new activities and foods, going on outdoor adventures, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
