A lifelong music lover, Chelsea has been singing since she can remember, has strummed the ukulele, and even took beginner piano lessons — so she feels very much at home at 88Keys! When she’s not at the studio, you might find her cooking up something delicious, getting lost in a good book, or learning Spanish.
She is passionate about creating a welcoming environment where students and families feel supported every step of the way. Chelsea is so thrilled to be joining the 88Keys family and can’t wait to meet every student, parent, and teacher who comes through the door!
