Previously, Chelsea earned her BSN and MSN degrees from the University of Texas at Austin. Clinically, Chelsea has practiced as a registered nurse in pediatric intensive care and pediatric inpatient acute rehabilitation.

Chelsea’s research interests broadly center around social drivers of health, with a focus on adolescent mental/behavioral health, and prevention. Chelsea’s research during her doctoral program investigated the complex associations among socioeconomic status, cumulative adverse and positive childhood experiences (i.e. ACEs and PCEs), and adolescent mental/behavioral health outcomes, predominantly using quantitative methods with secondary data and applying a developmental lens. Chelsea is also interested in developing her expertise in intervention science.
