Born and raised in New York City, Chelsea began her career at the tender age of 18 months, as a child model. Through the years, she studied dance, voice, piano and cello, while honing her acting skills in after-school programs and summer camps, such as Stagedoor Manor in the Catskills. In her high school theatre program, Chelsea personified such roles as Nina in Chekhov's The Seagull, Lucy in Michael Frayn's Alphabetical Order, and The Director in Luigi Pirandello's Six Character's in Search of an Author. In addition to this, she performed in numerous works by Shakespeare, Ionesco, Tennessee Williams, William Inge, and other Chekhovian plays, as well as several musical productions. At the age of 15, she traveled alone to Ghana, West Africa for one month, and documented her time there on film. Upon her return, she founded the first International Baccelaureate Film Festival for students across the globe. Her film was recognized at the 2004 CU2 Video and Film Festival and screened in Times Square at the Virgin Megastore movie theatre. She is a drama major in Tisch's Stella Adler Studio, at New York University. Chelsea's collaboration with Antonio Campos in "Buy It Now" marks their second film together, preceded by "First Kiss" when she was 15. "Buy It Now" has gone on to receive numerous international awards, including the 1st prize at the Cannes Film Festival in the Cinefondation category, and the Audience Award at the CineVegas Film Festival.
