Chelsea currently lives in Seattle. In her spare time, she enjoys writing, travel and musical theatre.
Chelsea has edited hundreds of articles for Bankrate and enjoys covering both news pieces and long-form guides. She helped develop the Bankrate Best Value Colleges guide and has monitored student loan forgiveness efforts since early 2020.
Chelsea has been working as Bankrate’s student loans editor since early 2020. Prior to joining Bankrate, Chelsea was the insurance and finance editor at Reviews.com, where she specialized in covering life insurance.
