Chelsea was a huge asset to the Student Services department because she cared so deeply about the students she served. She demonstrated empathy and compassion, helping students find resolutions to their problems and outside resources if they needed services the College did not provide. Chelsea is extremely detail-oriented and conscientious, planning for deadlines and finishing tasks early. She is an excellent event planner and project manager because she sees the big picture while concerning herself with the smallest details to make sure everything is in place. Chelsea is a team player and collaborative by nature. I know that Chelsea will be successful in any position she pursues and I highly recommend her on every level.

Chelsea is a pleasure to work with. Her kind spirit and joie-de-vivre is infectious. She did so well in our presure cooker of a setting and managed many details with great results. I know she is very creative and works well with a diverse set of personalities.

      I managed the Movember Initiatives global program, PCF’s largest partnership with an annual net worth of ~$6 million. I focused my efforts on growing participation in the annual Movember Campaign by activating employees, board members, donors, researchers and corporations in peer-to-peer fundraising. In coordination with PCF’s and Movember’s Communication team, I developed and implemented an annual social media plan and activities calendar. I facilitated program reporting for Movember funded programs and prepared presentations for board meetings and summits. I maintained PCF’s compliance of Movember contract terms and adhered to an annual budget. My other focus was in supporting the creation, management and execution of high-profile fundraising events and campaigns. I attended site inspections, managed vendor relations and created event collateral. I prepared timelines, show flows and reports. In addition, I managed invitation, mailing and guest lists. A large focus of my role was in prospect management and donor cultivation. During events, I oversaw all on-site logistics. I managed post-event deliverables and stewardship initiatives. Show less
