Originally from the mainland, Chelsea has been honored to call Hawaii home for the past three and a half years. Outside of her professional life, she finds solace in nature. Whether surfing, hiking, or spending time with animals, she believes deeply in the profound healing power of reconnecting with the natural world to maintain balance in both body and mind. She also loves soaking up knowledge about Hawaiian and Māori cultures, inspired by their rich traditions and wisdom.
