BIOGRAPHY
Chelsea grew up in Redmond, Washington, fostering a great appreciation for the Pacific Northwest. Following her undergraduate studies at Gonzaga University, Chelsea began a career in politics at the local, state, and federal levels in Washington and Texas. She later transitioned this experience to a role in public affairs, where she developed and executed communications strategy for some of Washington’s largest tech firms and non-profits.
During her time as a student at Seattle University School of Law, Chelsea worked as an intern for the Washington Court of Appeals, Division II and as a summer associate with GTH. She was also a mentor for new members of the Women’s Law Caucus and served as a Notes and Comments Editor for Seattle University Law Review.
In her free time, Chelsea enjoys traveling, gardening, and exploring Seattle’s many parks with her husband and rescue dog.
She looks forward to growing her practice to serve GTH’s clients within the firm’s Labor & Employment Law Group and beyond.
