She has been a featured presenter at ALM Benefits Pro Expo, SHRM, Validation Institute, HR Florida, and ISCEBS. Chelsea produced a documentary It’s Not Personal, It’s Just Healthcare, which interviews CEOs, human resource professionals, hospital executives, insurance industry experts, doctors and nurses, who blow the whistle on insurance companies’ propaganda and corruption. Chelsea also co-hosts the Ethos Effect podcast with her husband, Donovan, where they interview entrepreneurs who are using their own ethos to transform their industries. She was awarded the YPS Most Innovative Healthcare Consultant in the United States for 2024, and received the industry’s most prestigious award, Advisor of the Year by Benefits Pro. Chelsea proudly became an American citizen in 2024. As part of Chelsea’s personal ethos, she enjoys the beach, paddleboarding, and being active with Donovan and her service dog, Copious
