Before joining NHeLP, Chelsie built her expertise across a range of mission-driven sectors including education, food security, international development, and environmental conservation – applying data systems and operational strategy to improve meaningful outcomes for the communities these organizations serve. Her international development work focused on food security and livelihood programs, where she partnered with government stakeholders to advance community-centered initiatives on a global scale.
