Chelsea was born in Vancouver, Canada and entered the world of film and television at just 8 years old. As a child, Chelsea filmed over 80 commercials. Her first big break came when she starred alongside Bridget Fonda in Hallmark’s timeless mini-series Snow Queen, earning her a best actress Leo award nomination. It wasn’t long after that she booked her own pilot, starring in FOX’s Save the Last Dance. Chelsea then graduated high school early through home schooling and moved to Los Angeles alone at the tender age of 17.
Over the next several years she made a name for herself in Hollywood starring in various TV films and guest starring on hit shows such as CSI, The L Word, CSI: Miami, Cold Case and HBO’s Transporter. Chelsea was also fortunate to work alongside the late Heath Ledger in Sony picture’s feature film Lords of Dogtown, which has since become a cult classic.
It was her lead role as underdog Emily Kmetko in Freeforms hit gymnastics drama, Make It Or Break It that solidified Chelsea’s presence on the small screen. Following this success Chelsea had her second child, and moved back to Vancouver to raise her two children as a single mother.
Most recently Chelsea has heavily recurred on season 3 of the Emmy nominated Lifetime/Hulu series UnReal, guest starred on Girlfriends Guide to Divorce, Rogue, Lucifer, Motive, Supernatural, and Take Two, as well as several upcoming films including Tosca Musk’s adaptation of Ruth Clampett’s best selling novel Mr. 365. Chelsea is continuing to have a solid career excelling as an actress, and is excited to bring her own material to big and small screens with Jovanna in 2019.
