Hi, I'm Chelsy.
Hi, I'm Chelsy.
I’m a seasoned social media strategist with a track record across B2B and DTC brands—some flashy, some more low-key. I cut my teeth in the agency world, crafting social strategies and building content pipelines for names like Jose Cuervo, Delta Faucet, Alamo Rent-A-Car, Royal Canin, and Cabo Wabo. A high school bowling captain turned roller derby retiree, I’m all about teamwork. If you’ve got an open slot on your roster, I’d love to fill it.
♥️ My Core Values
Stay Curious.
I believe curiosity is the key to cracking the best briefs, spotting bubbling trends before they burst, and understanding the heartbeat of the team.
Eye on the Prize.
Goals are my guiding star. I stay focused on brand integrity, avoiding the lure of fleeting likes in favor of long-term success. I know my KPIs and ensure every social move contributes to achieving them.
Be Iterative.
Perfection is a journey, not a destination. I bring my team into the process early, embrace feedback, and constantly seek ways to improve. The digital landscape is ever-changing, and I thrive on that dynamic.
Lead with Heart.
Creating a supportive environment where people feel safe to ask for help is essential to me. I mentor with empathy, set clear expectations, and keep everyone, including myself, accountable.
